To provide stability for the Homeless Individuals receiving assisted outpatient treatment, your efforts today to provide treatment will be for naught. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, next speaker please. Good afternoon, supervisors, lisa marie from the coalition on homelessness. And sort of the most disturbing piece that i want to touch on, because i think that one of the hardest parts about this hearing is you are hearing both ends of the spectrum about how people feel how we should respond to Mental Health, the people that is most striking to me is this is not an alternative to incarceration. I think that is actually the emotional piece that were really experiencing here. Folks dont want their loved ones to have to go through more trauma to stand in front of a judge to be demoralized, to have to be arrested, when things dont actually result in real healing and getting to peoples basic needs and sustainability being met. So i think in terms of the criminal Justice Sector in
Is worse than watergate. Meanwhile on the ground, a country is unraveling, torn apardon by the militia the u. S. Helps to support. Fault lines is here to find out what went wrong. On november the 16th after friday prayers, a peaceful demonstration formed in a neighborhood, in west tripoli. Local proteste protesters were met by machine gun fire. When the shooting stopped, dozens lay dead, many others were injured. The last kerr took place the day we arrived in libya. By the time we reached the scene, the men there told us the killers had left. The militiamen who took over the area were from the libya shield, the shield that was set up by the Libyan Government last year but largely decommissioned in june 2013, killing more than 30 people. Some of the libya shield fighters said they had been present when the shooting here happened. All that we spoke with were supportive of their brothers in arms. Saying Moammar Gadhafi is still here, saying theres a lot of support for the former regime an
People forget. But i do think now that there is a possibility of a sustained longerterm effort to slowly start to undo the policies. And as we change policies and people understand that crime rates are not going to spike up it changes peoples hearts and minds around incarceration and offers better, more Productive Solutions that actually do a better job of protecting our Public Safety. Im committed to this work. It is all the work ive ever done actually since graduating, and i think that really the moment of opportunity is now. Our lives again to end the day we become silent about the things that matter. That is a quote from Martin Luther king, jr. Out of keep on my wall, and i absolutely think that is the case. Im very fortunate that he been able to devote my career to working on issues that i think about it. I think it matters that there is tremendous human devastation and brought out of unnecessary incarceration in this country. I think it is terrible that we treat children with suc
Research some years ago but we now find the court of justice of the e. U. Is hindering progress by bringing into question the validity of the patient protecting research. Will the Prime Minister do what he can to clear this blockage on behalf of millions of people in this country who suffer longterm medical conditions . My hon. Friend makes an extremely serious point and i will look closely at it because it is a competitive advantage we have in this country that we took difficult decisions about stem cell research. Is important that we continue to lead in that area not only as he says for economic and scientific reasons but because we want to make sure longterm conditions, debilitating conditions, children with a disability and other concerns that we crack those problems for the future and without that level of research i dont believe we will. I will get what he says and write to him after. Is the Prime Minister proud of the growth of super pacs across this country including my own con
Political joining us. The meeting . Of it sounds like harry reid is ready to go forward with the Nuclear Option, to change the senate rules by 51 votes, rather than the normal threshold of 67 votes. The higher threshold is usually your usually set to make it harder to occur. He says he is so frustrated with the use of the Majority Party to block legislation moving forward that he will invoke this very unusual procedure to change the rules by 51 votes. We want to vote change the filibuster rules so no longer 60 votes will be required to facinge a filibuster president ial nominees for executive branch positions. Would only affect executive , noth decisions traditional nominees, not legislation, it wants to move forward so that no longer can a senator block a nominee for epa, Defense Department, by requiring , 61 votesinstead would be required, a majority of the senate. Majority lent leader reid wants to move forward, what would the next step the in the senate . There was going to be a jo
