I think people vote on things that areless of substance and the more we try to educate them, people try to gravitate towards things that arent meaningful and move the dialogue forward, sometimes gender or race or geographic location or who their neighbor is. I dont have a answer for you long term. We are working on it. Im a former organizer with food and water watch. I want to thank you for your opposition to the pipeline that is now in service between jersey city and manhattan, a 42 inch gas pipeline going under the hudson. I know that jersey City Attorney is going to argue now yesterday. There are some arguments coming thursday. But the Regulatory Commission is approving these pipe lines right and left all over the country f
Good in iraq. [applause] it is not stupid to do what they did if you are giving the money to halliburton and lockheed martin. Thats what they did. Billions of dollars were transferred, taxpayer dollars, were transferred to those operations by these very manipulative, lying one of the things we should congratulate ourselves for is the u. S. Always lies us into war. It was true in vietnam it was true in iraq. We like to think of ourselves as a peaceloving people. If we would say we are going in for the oil, we would say dont do it. We say we are doing it for democracy. We were nationbuilding, freeing women, right . And a and and in afghanistan, iraq, over and over. This is the nature of empire today. It is about resources. That is why you see military bases, hundreds of military bases all over the world American Military bases mostly guarding the sector of oil. The u. S. Military bases keep open all the u. S. Traffic in the world. The u. S. Navy is keeping the lanes open. I think lets go

I ask unanimous consent that these requests be agreed to and that these requests be printed in the record. The presiding officer without objection. Mr. Frank enmr. Franken madam , im just going to come out and say it. Citizens united was one of the worst decisions in the history of the Supreme Court. It was a disaster, a radical exercise of procorporate judicial activism. It was seriously flawed, both legally and factually. Legally, the court trampled its own precedence. Cases like austin v.
