The other thing that weve started doing is we call it moral monday iowa. And i believe it started in one of the carolinas. By right. With the naacp. But we just stole the idea. So every monday at noon before we gavel in at 1 00, we have a gathering that draws a lot of press and a lot of advocates, and we talk about an issue that were not getting any legs on. So weve had moral monday iowas on date rape. Weve had moral monday iowas on disparities in education and prisons. Weve had moral monday iowa on education spending, and next week were having it on womens health. We get these huge crowds. We picked a small room, so thats kind of cool because the huge crowds look really big. But i think we want to reclaim the moral and the freedom issues, because we believe that were the ones who work for those, and i think anybody could do some of those things. We get a lot of press coverage for it. Thank you. Senator winfield from connecticut. I wanted to go back to the point about how we talk about
World is because the fcc was relatively retrained in 2010 compared to what it did now. Time will tell. The best example is europe where europeans have significantly less access to high speed broad band than we do. 82 of americans it only 48 of europeans. And when it comes to wireless in particular, the u. S. Has 50 of the worlds 4g lte subscribers.

That also changes the dynamic as far as the United States is concerned. The foreign secretary said, we have made some progress in the negotiations, i think there is a willingness on both sides to try to reach a deal, but the obstacles are still formidable. These are about Big Decisions which are going to have to be reached primarily by iranian colleagues, about the future of their nuclear industry, and the amount they have invested in it. Those are difficult decisions. And as the foreign secretary said, there are still a number of them which are critical to success on which we do not have movement.
