Commissioners. I wanted to share with you that on december 9th, supervisor wiener shared a conversation with Michael Baxter director of Family Planning service for mcah. He has worn many hats. Michael baxter is ill today and he has been working tirelessly for youth. So he was given a special accommodation by the supervisors and many of the staff went to support him on that day. Our Health Officer Thomas Aragon joined the Advocacy Network and other Organization Rights to speak out on the stigma of ebola virus and went to west africa. There were several speakers in the african immigrant communities in the bay area to further stop the stigma against ebola advice. Tomorrow we have project connect 57. It will take place in the Civic Auditorium and this will be the last event of the year. If you havent volunteered at the project homeless connect, its a great opportunity and serves over 1,000 individuals and we usually have almost 1,000 volunteers. Anything that you can think of that an indiv

That is why when Loretta Lynch finally got through i just think that eric holder was the wind behind all of this establishment resistance to actually getting rid of guantanamo and all of the things that after eight years of dreadful bushcheney policy policies now we have this disaster. And i am not one of these rand Paul Ron Paul libertarians. His chief Law Enforcement officer should have enforced it. Host lets leave it there. Thank you for calling in. In 2013, the Voting Rights act was on the table. [video clip] attorney general holder it in validated a part of the Voting Rights act, a cornerstone of American Civil Rights law. I am deeply disappointed with the courts decision in this matter. It is a setback for Voting Rights and will negatively affect millions of americans across the country.

I googled the word embargo yesterday and it came back no news. [laughter] if it was big news, they would not get anything on embargo. Certainly not to a wide audience that they are emailing it to.

We brought together Business Leaders who committed to help more unemployment americans fine work. So poin is, i am eager to work with Congress Wherever i can. But whatever i can act on my own, to expand opportunity for more americans, i will do that. Lou what is unclear how this helping grow the middle class, white house admitting they had no idea how many employees federal contractors have earning the minimum wage, at the same time claiming they were helping quote hundreds of thousands of American Workers without any evidenc
