also congressman tim ryan. great to have all of you with us tonight. the effort to defeat this senate bill has been fantastic but we should also point on the fact that there was tremendous effort to make sure that senate bill 5 stayed in place. this was a defeat tonight for the coke brothers. it was a defeat tonight for liv cheney. she was involved. sarah palin was involved. pat boone was involved. a number of republican governors were involved. they were the losers. fox news came here with hannity. that didn't do any good. rush limbaugh said the people of ohio were going to rape themselves to pay public employees. and herman cain did a robo call. so none of that had any effect. you had these national politicians, these national professional fund-raisers for issues get involved. and they were pushed aside by the ohio middle classers. that's what they -- but the workers of this state. congresswoman betty sutton, your response to what happened tonight? >> we have seen the power of the people. we know -- we know that so much money was poured in here. we k

let me thank congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz, tim ryan, joe courtney, jan schakowsky, donna christensen, alcee hastings, jim moran, jackie speier, ted deutsch, marcia fudge, and eleanor holmes norton for their participation and commitment to drawing attention to the struggle of millions of hardworking families to put food on the table during very difficult economic times. we face limited food choices. lack access to fresh and healthy foods. and were repeatedly exposed to unhealthy and inadequate food choices that promote poor health and obesity and hypertension. but of course our week will end. i hope that every member of congress will stop for at least a moment and consider the millions of american families who will face these challenges each and every day until they can find a good job with a real living wage. now, i'm a former food stamp recipient. let me tell you that i was deeply thankful for my fellow americans who were there for me and my children during a difficult time in our lives. the benefits that were extended to us were a critical help in pro-- and provided a vital bridge

serving in the democratic caucus, one whom i am very proud to know and work with, representative tim ryan, representing communities like youngstown and akron, has been a very powerful force in acknowledging that it's investing in job creation that is our number one concern right now. we've seen what's been happening in ohio. there has been -- there's an outburst of pride coming from that state about the activism that is really speaking to empowering the middle class and we empower the middle class by providing jobs. representative ryan, thank you so very much for being that outstanding voice. ryan fitzpatrick well, thank you and i -- mr. ryan: well, thank you and i want to thank him for really what the essence is and that is resuscitating manufacturing back in the united states. and that needs to be a goal throughout the country because of what it does for the local economy, what it does for the states, what it does for tax revenue, what it does to the creation of intellectual property because there are many people on the factory floor actually thinking about how this product could maybe

someone who has fought diligently to make sure that everyone has their right to vote, congressman tim ryan. mr. ryan: i thank the gentlelady. a few weeks ago, we had the opportunity of having congressman lewis in youngstown and up up in cleveland. to sit here and listen to him talk about it, it's not words on a piece of paper, as he said, it's not history, it's his experience. for us in any way, shape, or form to listen to him and remember the struggles that a lot of people went through in order for americans to have the right to vote, all americans of the right to vote, this seems so petty and so ridiculous that there would be a movement among a conservative group of people across the country to literally try to disenfranchise american citizens. now, we all get caught up in the political games but my goodness gracious, how far are you going to go? you've got citizens united that says you can spend money left and right, corporations unlimited funding, we're seeing it in ohio now. then they take this money and start pushing initiatives like this one where you're going to literally carve out
