Topics. Id like to highlight the key areas were focused on. And then we are going to be voting and amending. Amending and then voting each section. So there will be instead of going through party reform, section by section, make amendments and then discuss and vote. The key elements on party reform that were going to be focusing on this afternoon are recommendations that are focused in the following areas. The first is making the party more competitive in all regions of the country. The second is supporting and growing state parties and inning creasing grassroots participation.

The sixth, connecting our values and our actions and the 7th promoting and protecting the vote. So for each of those sections that i just highlighted, we will stay focused in those sections of Commission Members as we g
Some payback to them other families for the loan they have taken out. We need to make sure you can get done in fouregree years. There are great programs around the country. One i admire is a program called tennessee promise, where every student who participates, gets done, the first two years, and Community College , free of tuition. It requires mentors and personal responsibility and that is the kind of approach we need. We need more kids graduating with a grease of purpose so they can live an independent life. Thank you.

Bernie sanders said today he is not an atheist, heres what the vermont senator told nbcs meet the press this morning. This really does not come as a shock to me wore mike si haveg time ago that the time is now Debby Wasserman Schultz should step aside, not only for these issues, we need a Democratic Party thats open and is going to bring young people into it.
