Was in the 80s. When a soviet Jewry Movement begins here in the United States. And the American Jewish Community Found itself in direct, direct defiance of the wishes of the Israeli Government that wanted the russians to go there. And the American Jewish community argued freedom of choice. On immigration. Of course once the russian jews arrive here in large numbers, they really dont want a lot to do with them and ill just end with an anecdote. I mentioned to my own synagogue board, maybe we should have an Outreach Program to russian jews in northeast philadelphia. And one member said out loud, why do we need to do that .

Then at 9 20 eastern, the origins of the 1882 chinese exclusion act and
I just want to salute you and your public work in uniform, military uniform as well as civilian clothes. I heard you say you were committed to protecting whistleblowers. I was wondering what your definition was. Im thinking of edward snowden. My dear brothers and sisters, chelsea manning, my dear brother jeffrey sterling. Two in jail, one outside of the country.

In women and girls. Seizing these opportunities will help prevent crisis in the future but we must still respond to the crisises of today. We cannot turn away from the more than 60 Million People who have been forced to flee their homes, the highest number since world war ii. Many are fleeing the very same terrorists that we are fighting. Now is the time to do more by welcoming more refugees to america. Without discrimination based on race, religion, or ethnicity. And providing more support to refugee hosting countries. And we cannot defeat violent extremism when millions of people see a future of continued injustice and lack of opportunity. Development programs can help address underlying issues that make communities more vulnerable to violent extremism, getting directly to the causes of this problem not only addressing the symptoms.

Leave. It is critically important this year for all of you to engage. Too many of our american citizens feel left behind. They are drawn to anger and hostility and fear. It is our responsibility, we visione tools to pain a of greatness and strength constrained byes our base hope rather than our base fears. No one has that rather than our sullivan. R, jake the architect of the Iran Nuclear Deal, and incredibly overqualified Public Servant who has dedicated his life to Public Service here the Iran Nuclear Deal, classic application of factand soft power, of over fiction, and hope over fear. Jake, my only advice to you is that you take Harry Trumans Campaign Advice and remember, as harry truman said, carry the battle to them, dont let them bring it to you.
