I would hope that the Lgbt Community would recognize me to continuing that progress is the key to the progress weve made so far which is engagement and political engagement. And what also recognize that both the Supreme Court and elsewhere around the country we have systematically than limiting what was a limited democracy to begin with and making true selfgovernment harder and harder and would recognize if our political progress and progress on race and gender and a series of other things are intimately tied up in making this really into a self functioning democracy again i recognize that commonality is political.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. We thank you this morning for being with us here at Petersburg National battlefield on the 150th anniversary of battle of the crater. My name is chris price. For those of you who were with us this morning at 5 30 we thank you again and welcome you here to the park. I was remarking a few minutes ago, much like it was for the soldiers 150 years ago who were in the oberlin campaign that started in 1864, it has been a long road to petersburg.

Katy, as we talk about this, the Trump Campaign billing the speech as a positive policy speech earlier in gettysburg. So he starts instead, though, by vowing to bring legal action against the women accusing him. Certainly overshadowing what he was trying to accomplish from many perspectives. Reporter yes. Supposed to be a policy speech about his first 100 days in office. The campaign was touting it heavily to reporters as of yesterday. Newt gingrich today saying this would be the speech that would differentiate donald trump from the establishment, and
