1,000member student body are catholic. Professors pledge to uphold catholic beliefs. There are worship sites in every dorm, and mass is held three times a day. Its president , jim towey, who worked for the Bush Administration as director of its faithbased and Community Initiatives office, also served as Legal Advisor for the late mother teresa. Ave maria is determined to stay a course from which its president says other catholic institutions have strayed. In an age where modernity has attacked the whole idea of objective truth and the whole relativism that you see thats pervasive in our culture, i guess this universitys not going to be here to be popular. Its not here to try to please everyone. Its here to try to be true to itself and its own catholic identity. Georgetown university, renowned for its academic excellence, has a different view of its catholic identity. All students, though only half of the 7,000 undergraduates are catholic, are required to take two theology and two philo
Committees of jurisdiction such as commerce and banking to pass legislation with the same bipartisan support we experience experience with map21 so we are going to marcus bell up at the end of april. We must move it forward and i know that members on this committee on both sides including senator carper and senator barrasso working with senators vitter and i are all committed to this. I hope hope what youll do today is speak from the heart about what it means to you if in fact it is as important to you as a think it is. I hope he will tell us its important. If you dont pick its important, if you think the federal government could walk away from this tell us that. We need to know from you so this is a very important thing for me because again i have so much respect for folks who implement what we do here and with that i will turn it to my Ranking Member senators vitter. Thank you madam chairman for holding todays hearing. This is really important to get the local and state perspective o
I come from my home state. That would be one of the final four. May be. Maybe so. Im happy to see all of you. Thank you for pulling together this good group and we look forward to hearing from you. I will be very brief to help draft the last transportation bill and im so happy to have a chance to work with all the senators, senator boxer and senator john brasso. Hopefully we come up with a five or six year bill. So that we have a chance to help out a little bit on that front as well. We are really pleased, madam chair with the state and local folks. State and local governments are stepping up on transportation and that remains the case to be seen today. And so we are finding officials making some of the transportation infrastructure. When local officials asked the voters for more money, he or she is going to be focused like a laser on this and what that means is that it isnt that they are investing in these products. You are investing in a shorter commute with less conduction and we ha
Member, that pay raise, maybe not. But if you lied to the Mueller Investigation or youre related to jared kushner, things have never been better. Overnight, President Trump pardoned his longtime allies, Paul Manafort and roger stone, who did not cooperate with the mueller probe. He also pardoned Jared Kushners father. Republican senator ben sasse summed it up in one sentence. He said, this is rotten to the core. And the president , meanwhile left washington without signing or vetoing the stimulus bill. So today House Republicans will try to pass legislation that will give americans the 2,000 stimulus checks that President Trump lauabruptly insisted on, thats likely to fail. All of this as Unemployment Benefits expire in two days. Look at what is expiring in the coming days. A pause on student loan payments, paid family leave, eviction protections all of that expiring next week. Oh, by the way, the government shou could shut down at midnight on monday. And lets not forget that the coron
Wealth. Welcome mr. Kurtz. [applause] thanks so much. Its great to be here. This is the second time ive had the privilege of addressing this group and i want to thank Phyllis Schlafly again for having me here. I always enjoy the defense. My topic today is obamas policy towards the suburbs. Its a remarkable issue and it doesnt get covered by the media. Its something people should know about. Im going to get to that in the second but i cannot resist because i have an audience of college kids taking two or three minutes at the beginning to let you know of another focus of my work. Let me see a show of p. M. Both hands. How many of you have heard the Campus Movement . You are probably going to hear about it next year if you havent heard about it already. This is a movement where students are trying to get their College Endowments to sign off anything they hold in the company is on the theory that Global Warming is going to destroy the world unless we put the fossil fuel industry out of bus
