going to fight the bill tooth and nail. and we have a darn good chance of o defeating it a weiek from now, a month from now, a year from now. senator durbin. for the last several months with the new republican majority in the senate and house, we have seen a national debate on health care. i think it was long overdue. today rk more americans support the affordable care act than at the beginning of the debate. as we set out to achieve, they realized how positive it was for them and their families. to get rid of problems of preexisting conditions, to make sure that everybody had access to quality insurance. to provide medicaid for you just heard senator schumer talk about the conditions democrats would need in order to work with republicans. we re going to go through those in a moment, but first, to garrett who is talking to white house press secretary sean
a news conference today, so we ll hear from the attorney general in just a moment. scheduled to have started two minutes ago but first, to garrett who is live in our midwest newman and the question, what options the leaders in ferguson have at this point. well, they really only have two options. they can agree to the recommendations or get sued by the doj for violate inging the constitution and we ll likely hear which way they re leaning at the press conference we re expecting a couple of hours after eric holder speaks, but over the next few week, they are likely to meet with officials and work out the exact terms of a court enforced settlement to outline what changes will be made. some of the changes are already underway. most notably about the court which had been labeled previously as a debtor s prison. what are michael brown s family saying? officials met with his parents this morning to share
they will attack obama for any little tiny thing, trying to make him seem as bad as george bush actually was. and it actually makes sense to me if the last president who i was proud of when my party was elected in the 80s that i would do anything to attack the next president. so now that republicans are off toure s couch, this, the nrcz s campaign is genius. and you all would love it and be flipping out and making out with it if the dnc did this. i don t think so. it is fantastic. and it is not alone going to win elections. but it is already paying off in dividends. the point is to get relevant content on relevant platform. clips equal money and e-mail and both are up through this campaign. i talk to garrett, the divisional director. he s been tweeting gifs. they re not trying to be buzz feed. they re trying to be internet friendly. and it is fun.
