If i can ask you judge ginsburg what was it that made you want to do this . Thank you tony for asking. This is addressed to what i think is a real crisis in our Education System in the us now. In that civics is not being taught as nearly and widely as it should be. Even American History is often neglected.

The two of them had known each other for quite some time. During world war i, Franken Roosevelt was the assistant secretary of the navy under woodrow wilson. Do you want to talk about what hoover did during world war i . Sure. Herbert hoover was the head of the u. S. Food administration. It had to essentially provide food to the soldiers going to europe and hoover was able to provide the necessary food by getting americans to voluntarily reduce consumption by 15 .
