Thats a step that i have worked on every single day. Number two people can succeed. The genius of america is the Free Enterprise and freedom and the fact that people can go out there and start a business, work on an idea, make their own decisions. As Abraham Lincoln understood, there are also some things we do better together. In the middle of the civil war, Abraham Lincoln said, lets help to finance the transcontinental railroad. Lets start the National Academy of sciences. Lets start land grant colleges. We want to give these gateways of opportunities to all americans.

Today there are 43 members. We want more but there are 43. Theyre led by congresswoman marsha fudge who you heard from and they are the conscience of the congress. In that blauk caucus we have the privilege of serving with john lewis, some of us for over 25 years in the congress, and arent we proud of that. I also want to mention that 50 years ago, though he was not a member of congress at the time that john conyers was one of three people invited to the white house to meet with president john f. Kennedy following the civil rights march, the march for jobs, justice and freedom, who is with us. 50 years ago we had the first catholic president in the white house.

Outlooks and prerogatives that reflects a way that reflects more the grass roots and not so much the gun manufacturers or Big Industries or the manufacturers . First, i reject the claim that there is any guncontrol legislation that will be passed the will be popular among our supporters. What it will do is energize our base. Our base is extremely focused on what is going on in congress. They are extremely passionate and have a lot of energy.
