And tonight it is as always a pleasure for me to introduce my longtime friend. Weve known each other almost since he was in short pants in new York New Jersey where he was born a little bit after he graduated from siena college. The only dissertation that affected the notion of the capitalism which is hard to do because there is no american capitalism Something Like 35 years ago jack sounded something and being that the booster club which he ran for a number of years when he skipped from the city briefly. Hes always been a provocateur which ive admired about him. We disagree about some things. The last time i introduced him i said about president obama but he tried to prove that bill ayers and the radical had actually written the
Monk, certainly experienced his share of hard times in the military at the hands of our government. And another person who should be up here with us is Navy Chaplain wes modder, who i have the privilege and honor of representing as well. And i know that chaplain would love to be here himself to tell you his story. Unfortunately he cant do that. But what i am pleased to share with you all that chaplain modder is sitting here in the audience, right here in the first row. And chaplain modder, will you please stand up. [ applause ] these two men put everything professionally on the line. Both had over 19 years of service in the military. Both risked all of that because of what they believe in. And to do the right thing. And you know, two last points i want to make on this, travis, is first of all, there is a lot of misinformation out there about what rights we give up when we join the military, when we swear the oath of allegiance to the constitution. We dont swear an oath to the president

The new military act you refer to is an important contribution to democracy. But we also have to make sure that we safeguard and protect the integrity of the voter. And we have to make sure that the machinery that we use is not used to subvert the very vote that were trying to lift up. [applause] so i got you. There are places like oregon that are experimenting and its a positive thing. But im going to say this, brother. Im on twitter.
