On behalf of our president , jeff, and our 3,000 members, were honored today to have mr. Walter shaub jr. With us. I want to say that yesterday as i was driving perhaps more accurately, stuck in washington traffic listening to radio news and despite all the drama going on about health care, i was taken by the fact that so many of the news stories had words like, emoluments clause, ethics, rich peoples problems, legal precedent, those kinds of phrases in story after story after story.

One story trending yesterday had to do with the new White House Communications director and the pending sale of his company to chinese investors. So the question today, are these just rich peoples problems or are they serious challenges to our democra
