When i took office, more than a 180,000 people were serving in afghanistan. Today all of the troops are out of iraq. More than 60,000 have come home from afghanistan. Our troops have moved to a support role. Together with our allies we will complete the mission and americas longest war will finally be over. [ applause ] president obama after 2014, we will support a unified afghanistan as it takes responsibility for its own future. If the Afghanistan Government signs a security agreement, a small force of americans could remain with nato allies to train and assist forces and to train people to pursue al qaeda. Our relationship with afghanistan will change, but our resolve with terrorist that do not launch attacks against our country. [ applause ] president obama the fact is that danger remains.

Career, not only here in congress but in the California Legislature. I was privileged to work with joe on many, many issues, and he has been a consistent voice, both in the California Legislature and now here in congress, for protecting lowincome families from unfair predatory and credit practices. He has used his seat on the House Agricultural Committee and House Financial Services committee to help the most vulnerable americans.

Other than adolescence, other than growing up. We finally people were starting to stand back and say, hold on. This isnt actually a normal part of growing up. This isnt a normal rite of passage. I think there was a moment where there was a possibility for change. And director lee hirsch and i decided to start the film out of that feeling that voices were kind of bubbling up. Coming up to the surface to say this isnt something that we can accept anymore. A normal part of our culture.
