thatw last week the effect west virginia was having. the pittsburgh federation of teachers devoted to strike last monday -- voted to strike last monday. , the school district had full did in giving them everything they wanted. we are started to see that effect already play out in pittsburgh. in neighboring states to was virginia, in kentucky, as well as in southwestern pennsylvania, there has been talk of striking in districts where the governor jim justice owns money. the billionaire governor of was virginia is also one of the largest landowners and coal owners in the state. he owns something like $15 million taxes and six different states. there has been talks in counties in the neighboring states where he owes money come of striking a solidarity to once they sign. it looks like there's a lot of talk in oklahoma of striking sometime in early april. this is certainly inspiring a lot of action. it is particularly interesting because it is coming at the same time as the walkouts over the parkland massacre. we're getting to this period we

thomas fisher joined the southwest virginia's most famous unit, the 51st virginia. he went off to camp and for about two weeks the men heard nothing. they were writing letters home but getting nothing in reply. thomas fisher wrote his wife complaining that "we don't get letters enough. john campbell and offered me a quarter for my letter today. he said he had not got one for so long that he would have to buy one off somebody or else he would have to get none at all. james carles says if he don't get one, he intended to write a long letter, take it home and let his wife read it and then bring the answer back." but even more amazing was the letters of his wife, frances. i would've paid to a known that woman, she was headstrong and highly opinionated and she is a pleasure -- it is a pleasure to read her letters. in her first letter to thomas fisher, written three weeks after he went into service, she asked, thomas, want to know if you have washed yourself by this time whether you washed at all. his health and condition did appeal to her. and then she got down to her ow

the virginia doesn't have unlimited resources and we don't either. we are force multipliers in that effort. that's just an example of how we intend to work together. we help other organizations will follow in our lee we hope other organizations will follow suit so we can expand our ability even more. >> you mention community care, how does this play into the virginia choice expanding as well? >> let me emphasize one thing that may not be self evident. about 9 million of the veterans are enrolled in our system. were talking about her efforts and suicide prevention were talking about all veterans. so it's quite vital to reaching those who are not part of our system. some are not part of it because they have their own insurance through work or medicare are scope and attention is focused on all veterans. in some cases you can get into all of our facilities today if you have a problem in mental health. in some communities some veterans may prefer roads easier geographically to get care in the community. that is and will continue to be covered by the commu

the library of virginia in richmond, the american civil war museum, and the university of virginia center for civil war history cohosted this hour-long talk. >> the title of this year's symposium is ordinary people, extraordinary times. the theme relates to the flagship exhibition that will be opening and our new museum building at historic sugar which is now well under construction. t if you have not been out to see it, it is a wonder. the exhibit will adjust the big picture of the american civil war and its continuing affects, but it will also highlight the experiences of real people and the effect of the war on real people. in planning for the exhibition and the experience of theater that will be a part of our new museum, we were struck anew by the words of lucy back, a young girl from front royal, virginia who observed, we shall never, any of us be the same as we have been. certainly, while her sentiments were strictly related to her life as a young southern girl, part of the confederacy, the words do have resonance for everyone else that experienced this conflict. with that observati

west virginia ranked 46th among the 50 u.s. states for average teacher pay last year according to the national education association. one teacheher explained the mote for the strike. >> it has been very hard because the teachers -- they want to be in school just as bad as the parents want the kids to be there. but this is been one not for many years. the teachers finally said enough is enough. amy: while the state's republican-controlled house of delegates and senate were able to reconcile differing bills regarding salary increases, lawmakers have not yet answered teachers' demands for a cap on spiraling healthcare costs. governor justice signed an executive order appointing a task force to address the issue. the committee will hold its first meeting next week. the strike in west virginia has also inspired teachers and other states. on tuesday, the oklahoma education association announced teachers would go on strike able 23rd if the state legislature does not approve pay increases in funding for educational needs. they are the

[inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> we go called to order the hearing today on the drug enforcement administration's role in combating the opioid epidemic. today the subcommittee on oversight and investigation convened the hearing on the dea's role in combating the opioid epidemic. this crisis is a top priorities the nation and certainly of this committee and subcommittee. a opioid related overdoses kill more than 42,000 people in 2016. that's an average of 115 deaths each day. an estimated 2.1 million people have an opioid use disorder pretense earliest hearing in 2012 subcommittee has been investigating various aspects of this epidemic. in may of 2017 the committee opened a bipartisan investigation into allegations of opioid dumping. the term is described in opiate shipped by wholesale drug distributed to pharmacies located in.

, near petersburg, virginia. several of the companies in lynchburg, to encourage recruitment and to get men to go to war, actually promised to guggenheimerbs, so a large department store here in lynchburg, said if you went to fight in the war we promise to rehire you when you get back. they didn't want men to worry they wouldn't have a job. besides the men that we sent to war, the lynchburg women also played a large part during world war i. here we have on display a nurse's uniform. at the train station in town, which is actually still the train station we use today called kemper street station, there was a large red cross canteen. and what they did is they met soldiers there every day, thousands of soldiers, and offered them tea and cookies and sandwiches, magazines, cards, cigarettes, anything they needed to maybe feel like -- a little bit more like home before they got sent off to war. during that time, because of this hospitality, lynchburg actually earned the nickname of bunchburg -- of lunchburg. over in th

west virginia was created, west virginia seceded from virginia in 1863 during the civil war. it's realistic to be formed after seceding from the state. for our purposes the reason for the formation of west virginia is important to understand. the first thing is a state has the power to claim legal primacy over county governments. a state can claim to overrule what a county government sets. just imagine if you are a coal company and you set up shop in the county and the canvas is actually we're not interested in having coal development here. we declare coal development illegal. states can pass laws that says two counties, you can't do that. the state decides economic activity and what happens, not any local town and not any county. this has a parallel in federal law which i won't go into, but states, this is how states limit the number of the clients. this way a corporation can deal with the governor and the legislature and it doesn't have to do with all the people in the county because they don't matter. matter. they can't stop it. secondly, , it has the power to create a jud

and governor of the common wealth of virginia. i will start by saying i'm a gun owner, i'm a second amendment supporter. when i was an attorney in private prosecute i was the lawyer who worked with an effort to amend the virginia constitution to guaranty virginian it is right to hunt and fish. the second amendment and private gun ownership is an important part of our framework, i support it but i obviously believe that we can do things consistent with the constitution that will make our nation safer and i ask my colleagues to join in that effort. when i was elected to city council of richmond in 1994 i was elected in richmond at the time was on one top 10 list and it's not the one you want to be in. we had the secondo highest homicide rate in the united states. we were not ad high-crime generally, if you looked at all crime, but homicides and aggravated assaults, assaulted committed with weapon we were unusually high and the weapons of choice in homicides were guns. i remember very early in time as city council getting called to g

what the governor of west virginia. three houses already passed it the senate has already passed is that's our last hurdle and right now. we haven't heard official word yet and i want to give some context for our international community who may not quite understand why it is that teachers have been striking for the past nine days i pulled up this here this is the a c.n.n. but it is the very best edition of this that we've seen this is from the bureau of labor statistics on the average annual wages for it teachers west virginia's teachers earned among the lowest pay in the nation forty eighth and that's according to the national education association a ranking of salaries average salary forty seven thousand while in west virginia while the national average is fifty nine thousand i know you work a part time job in addition to being a teacher what will this five percent raise mean for you. it could possibly mean that i won't have to work a second job i took that job because we were one of the lowest paid in the state of we

and said "virginia is for lovers!" [laughter] i have been meaning to check the biography of boost to see if he has that in there. to see ifhy of booth he has that in there. every time i stand on the stage, i am reminded of the importance lincoln up's legacy --lincoln's legacy. not only in the united states, but around the world. in college, nelson mandela joined a drama society and they put on a play about lincoln. the leading role was played by another students, -- another student. john wilkesrayed booth. how strange to think about mandela portraying one of the world's most notorious villains. mandela took a lesson. one,"rt was the smaller part waswrote, "but my moralgine of the play's that great men take great risks. " he was talking about lincoln. inaugural address in 1865, lincoln famously called for malice towards none and charity for all. for the ability to strive on the work we are in, to and up the nation's women's do all that may achieve and cherish adjust -- a just and lasting peace. nelson mandela echoed the

is that why west virginia went off the rails? and so i'd like you to get back to the committee with answers to those questions. >> i'd be happy to do so, sir. and, look, what i can assure this committee is i think this is a topic that we have had some robust discussion on lately. as we've gone through these. and i will also assure you that the direction of this administration is to stop the harm as quickly as possible. >> but to -- i think you should be able to answer the one question. do the u.s. attorneys have the authority to overrule your agency's decision-making? i know you weren't there running it at the time. >> i believe we could issue the iso even against the wishes of a u.s. attorney or a state's attorney. it probably doesn't help relationships to take those kinds of unilateral actions, but that said, think part of this is the education of us holding up these things while they look at either criminal or civil actions. >> i would go back to mr. griffith's analogy, if you have a drunk driver driving down the road, you don

virginia was the heart of our country. but needing nothing to fill his person needs he studied and traveled in europe and return to his virginia home to absorb a huge family library of learning before deciding to enter public service. what started as an avocation in public service became a life-long commitment and turn him against many of his own social and economic class in the south, as he ran into government corruption and widespread deprivation of individual rights. his conflicts with corrupt officials and petty tyrants in virginia, grew into demands for individual liberties, for human rights, and eventually american independence from britain. as a fledgling member of the virginia legislature he shocked the south by declaring black people entitled to liberty and these are his words -- entitled to liberty and freedom by the great law of nature. in doing so, richard henry lee planted the first seeds of emancipation in virginia. 12 years before britain's colonies declared independence, lee was first to threaten king georg

all of virginia, really. one of the boards i serve on is the state review board of historic resources. we read nominations for historic properties that then go onto the national level. you are able to go on to the website to actually look at these nominations yourself. they are beautifully written, very detailed and meticulously researched. it gives you the opportunity to look at how scholarship is created, but to go to these places and engage with history through a very personal experience. we also have the historic highway markers which you can see dotting the landscape. virginia length away in historic highway marker programs. we have the largest historic highway marker database. i am a virginian, and i am very proud of that. i also recognize the warts in our history. there is a hard history that we overlook. we tend to push it aside. in engaging the primary sources and actually going to these places, we can grapple with history from a different perspective. though it is difficult, we can push through and

isos remind me of dui cases in virginia. one of the seltzer takes a driver of the road who's been drinking their licenses administratively suspended to protect the public. the trial on the merits is delayed but not public safety. immediately suspend the rogue operator and protect the public. i yield back. >> the gentleman yields back per the chair will now recognize the ranking member of the full committee for five minutes. >> he opiate epidemic continues to devastate communities in every part of america and everyday 115 americans lose their lives in the opioid overdose. we must help the struggling with addiction i'm committed to working with all of my colleagues to add meaningful legislation resources to help combat this crisis. families across this nation are looking to us for help and it's my hope that dea will work corporately with us and as ever. titian to efforts to respond to this crisis congress has a responsibility figure out what went wrong and how what went wrong and how to make sure something like this never happ

the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. goodlatte: at this time, it's my pleasure to yield two minutes to the gentleman from kentucky, mr. rogers, a co-sponsor of this legislation and former chairman of the house appropriations committee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. rogers: i thank the chairman for yielding me this time. i rise today in strong support of the stop act -- stop school violence act and i want to congratulate sheriff rutherford, the original sponsor of the bill, for his dedicated work on this project, among others. in the immediate wake of last month's tragedy in parkland, more than 15 students in my home district in eastern kentucky were arrested. thankfully our students and local law enforcement acted swiftly to prevent a copycat event in our own schools. as our nation battles this epidemic of school violence, it is imperative that we utilize our available resources to stop tragic events before they occur. but unfortunately, too many students and officials don't ha

, now, west virginia. and although she was initially sympathetic with the north in the secession crisis, when her new husband opted to side with the confederacy in the war and actually join the confederate army, martha switched loyalty to the south. she became pretty outspoken about her newfound confederate loyalty and her letters home to her father, and reading them, is are we dealing with zeke and now he's getting letter from martha -- letters from martha that are very pro-confederate and sentiment. in nearly drove him mad. he wanted to do something about it, but it took the unlikely intervention of his brother, clay. -- caches he says i figured to overlook her secession is him, because it is a virtue and a woman to go with her husband and all things very so don't think about her politics, don't take the politics that seriously, what's important is she is deferring to her husband, let's honor that marital relationship read -- relationship. that's exactly how u.s. army major from vermont approach his own

those jurisdictions are governed by maryland and virginia. -- virginia law. i don't want to get into the technicalities. we don't have three or four hours to explain them. i think i do a good job in the book. the simple issue is this, if you moved to the district, you had to register the amount of slaves you brought to the district. you had a certain amount of time to do it and you had to assert you are moving to make it your permanent residents. -- residence. you could not import slaves if you lived in the district unless you inherited them. you could not go to virginia, buy a slave, and bring it to the maryland portion. under virginia law and maryland law, this was the rule. importation was illegal in many cases, or a required registration. there are seven cases involving registration that reached the court where marshall decides the case. in every one, the blacks lose and the slave owner wins. in a few of these, the jury of the district of columbia, a jury of 12 white men, that probably includes slaveowners, presided over by a judge who is also a slave own

virginia does still ratify. he continues to pursue for a bill of rights. as it happens, james madison runs for congress on a platform that he will add a bill of rights the constitution should he be elected. he did. james madison proposed a bill of rights to the constitution in 1789. in past with some votes. george mason wrote, after not having signed the convention -- constitution in 1787, that he could cheerfully put his hand and part of his government. he actually saw the bill of rights added to the constitution in december of 1791. this is nine months before his death. that is why we remember george mason today. he would not have been able to do it without so many people on this property. one of those was his first wife and his second wife. e and were and and -- ann sarah. let us pop across the hall and see the space. we are stepping into the bedchamber. in 18th century, master bedrooms were often on the first floor. it functioned as a space for the operator of the household who happen to be mrs. mason. the space you see around me is all about the woman

and virginia's response was about race. but to men like darden and buchanan, two well-educated sons of the south who were deeply committed to its model of political economy, brown boded a sea change on much more. at a minimum, the federal courts could no longer be counted on to defer reflexively to states' rights arguments. it was not difficult for either darden, nor buchanan to imagine how a court might rule if presented with evidence of the state of virginia's archaic labor relations or its efforts to buttress the power of reactionary rural whites by underrepresenting even the moderate white voters of the cities and suburbs of virginia. federal meddling could rise to levels once unimaginable. james mcgill buchanan was not a member of the virginia elite, nor was there any specific evidence to suggest that for a conservative white southerner of his day he was uniquely racist or insensitive to the concept of equal treatment. and yet somehow all he saw in the brown decision was coercion. find the resources, he proposed to dar

but he'll get put on trial first in virginia. on july 10th.d in the meantime between now and then, i kid you not, i kid you not, trump campaign chairman paul manafort will be wearing not one but two ankle bracelets. trump campaign chairman paul manafort will be wearing two ankle bracelets. this pru sesumably is while god gave him two legs, one to make sure he doesn't flee for his two trials. apparently the electronic monitoring systems in d.c. and virginia aren't the same so he needs two ankle bracelets. i hope he gets them on each ankle. would be weird to have two-on-one. i don't know. i also want to show you this footage. this is what happened what paul manafort left his arraignment today when this guy screams at him, show us your bracelet. he might not have known at the time it should be bracelets, plural. >> show us your bracelet! hey, traitor, here is your flag. russian's flag. traitor. traitor. you're selling out america to the russians. how much did you get for that? traitor. >> it has been a remarkable day in the news. president's camp

kept trying to get us through the virginia -- it through the virginia assembly. --was introduced formally in but it was not passed until some years later. thomas jefferson was enormously proud of the statute for religious freedom. if you visit his epitaph in monticello, virginia, you will notice there are three items on his epitaph. he was author of the declaration of independence. he was founder of the university of virginia. he was the author of the act concerning religious freedom. he does not include that he was president of the united states or ambassador to france or any of the other enormously important things that he was. he was most proud, among two or three other accomplishments, of the fact that he was the author of the act for religious freedom. we know he was so proud of his authorship of the act for religious freedom that when he was ambassador to france, a position in which he was serving one the statute was finally passed in 1786, he immediately arranged for the text of the printed,o be published, and distributed and france and elsewhere in europe

they fought in west virginia. they saw the power of collective action in west virginia. they're going to see the power of collective action in oklahoma. and it's not simply about the teachers. it's about the kids. because if you don't pay people, they can't survive. this is what it's about, my friends. collective action. democrats have their backs. i've seen it in tennessee. when i was there. the moral bankruptcy of the republican leadership in tennessee. eight rural hospitals in tennessee have been shut down in the last two years. because of the ideological refusal of the republican leadership and people like congresswoman marsha blackburn, the nominee, in all likelihood, for the senate, who's going to lose to phil brettesen. their ideological aversion to obamacare. they refuse to expand medicaid. that's why those hospitals closed. and so that family suffering with opoid addiction. they don't know where to go. and as you know in rural america, these rural hospitals are not only the health care hub, they're the employment hub. and people have lost their jobs. that is mor

these are things made between the founding of virginia, jamestown in 1607 all the way up to 1700 as virginia begins to move its focus away from jamestown into williamsburg. one of the best-known objects in our collection is this one. it is a cork covered, the 17th-century equivalent of a sideboard. this is the earliest piece of southern furniture we know of the pieces that we know of, it is also probably the only piece of furniture made in jamestown that survives. it represents what happens when probably english trained craftsmen come to america and is confronted for the first time with the kind of natural .aterial they have available so he is mixing three very different woods to create the subject. a material you, would have been familiar with -- he would have been familiar with in england. he is using walnut for the turn elements, but doing something very interesting. he is taking this walnut and ebonite thing -- evan eyes -- ebonizing it, making it darker to appear like a darker wood. and this is an indigenous wood, yellow pine, and using this for the shell of the panel. we love objects h

when it finally -- it started further north, got to central virginia, virginia in the 1770's was an anglican colony. the official established church was the anglican church and all of a sudden these baptist ministers started seeping into virginia and drawing people away from the anglican parishes. they were not happy about that. they had english law at the time to enforce and you could not just go out and preach. you had to be licensed by anglican state authority. it happened that one of the largest revivals and meetings happened near the town of orange, virginia. which is where james madison lived. so james madison knew about what was happening and some of the people he knew at the time were in jail in culpepper. which is just right up the road. so he had a first-hand knowledge of the harassment of these baptist clergy and their followers. he was only in his early 20's at the time. he had begun to get interested in politics. as his father was. he was elected to a committee to prepare a declaration of rights. as my friend here tim shah has been talking about. the original draft was written b

you see it no place worse than west virginia. sohave the dea reorganized that they have had a new section of teams focused on kentucky, tennessee, west virginia. that is where some of the highest problems are printe. i think for of the six will go to rural areas. designated every united states attorney's office a specialist on opioid cases. they are supposed to coordinate our efforts. i know they will be identifying in rural areas some of these hotspots. it is remarkable to me how this addiction -- these opioids have impacted our rural areas. with some of the dinner you just from west virginia is shocking to me. also have the new data analytics program. some of what you saw in west virginia many years before never reached epidemic levels that it did. >> we recognize this does not have any geographic boundary. our national center to figure at where the risk is. it will also bring us back to the mail. it makes all areas equal. we all receive mail. working with the post office, the dea, all of that as well. thank you very much. i wa

nickel mines, virginia. virginia tech. sandy hook. roseburg, oregon. kentucky, parkland, florida. and beyond the horrific headlines we know that far too many communities in michigan and across the country are facing violence everyday. children can't go to the park. can't ride their bicycle to the corner store or even maybe do their homework or watch tv in their living room because of a worry of shot coming in through the window. i'm from michigan, and i understand and appreciate our wonderful hunt aeng outdoor heritage and that's how i grew up. and i know we can take common sense gun actions to keep our children and our communities safe while respecting legal gun ownership. we can start with universal background checks. one recent poll found that 97% of people surveyed support ba background checks for all gun buyers as the first step. and i want to arm our teachers. not with guns, but textbooks, own computers, and pencils, and support staff. like school social workers, nurses, and counsellors. ending gun violence won't be easy, change never is. however, seeing everybody here today

the answer does lie, from virginia, from the piedmont and a young man from virginia did not go at the time. it really was into a huge degree of concern. there were several reasons, but the main reason he went there was for the weather. he came to new jersey for the weather. [laughter] i don't think anyone has ever written a sentence before. it was because he believed, many people believed at the time that william and mary, which was in williamsburg in virginia was the place where you could get malaria for yellow fever, especially if you are not from a low land place already. he was from piedmont. he thought it would be safer. but he discovered in new jersey this extraordinary institution at the time. the only really impressive university in north america in the 1760s and 1770s and i say that with all due respect for her virginia l. that they were puritanical backwaters. princeton was in the european letters of the scottish enlightenment. while he was there, madison was also on some strange dimension kind of a minority for the only time in his life week as he was a rich kid from virgin

here's how one west virginia teacher put it.elling me my deductible is going up, but i can do exercises to earn an amazon gift card. are you kidding me? [ bleep ] you." [ laughter ] damn. [ cheers and applause ] the last thing that teacher needs is a gun. he's already dropping bombs. there's a lot more going on here than just a teachers' strike. what we're seeing in west virginia is a microcosm of what's happening across the country. working class people are being left behind by an economy increasingly dominated by the elite few. and they're pissed off. even in a seemingly deep red state like west virginia. and it's not just teachers who are unhappy about everything from health care, to the economy, to the opioid crisis. as one teacher put it, there's a feeling that the whole state is ready for a strike. wow. imagine if entire states could go on strike. "what do we want?" "legalized weed." "when do we want it?" "when do we want what?" [ laughter and applause ] [ laughter ] so clearly, this is not just a local issue. working clas

the people of virginia last year. what worked best was, everybody who went to the polls felt like they had it fair shake, and their candidate had a fair shake. that's the most important thing. if you look at what we've been doing, democrats since 2017, 1 of the keys to our success has have beenandidates spectacular. almost allsonally the candidates here. in the new dnc is about democrats and the school board, oval office. qualified.ncredibly in oklahoma, i met new members who are democrats -- i meant four new members who are democrats and the state senate. i talked to oklahomans about public education. kids are going to school four days a week from a week, public school because republicans have pushed the budget to the bone. what gives me optimism about fieldinghat we are good candidates. the who are winning are winning in the aftermath of fair, open, safe primaries, where there's a lot of high road debates going on. unity is our greatest strength. >> when you talk about party unity, i wonder if you could talk about w
