Legislative body. She spoke about slavery and womens rights before the Massachusetts State Legislature in 1838. An event honoring her and looking at women in politics. From boston, this is just over two hours. Welcome, everyone. I will be your evening moderator. We are here tonight to explore how women become political. We will look at the past and the present and consider the future, too. There will be some remarks and a panel. Regretfully, senator Elizabeth Warren is not able to join us because she needs to be in washington. Someone has to work. She is there to work in the senate. [applause] however, she has made a short video for us that we will share in place of the remarks she would have given. Now, during the evening we invite you to tweet and send your questions at womenpoli2013. Also a reminder. Silence your cell phones right now. Everybody moving to silence the cell phones . Good. And for those who could not attend tonight, the good news is that the event is being taped by the
A senator mr. President . The presiding officer the republican leader. Mr. Mcconnell are we in a quorum call . The presiding officer we are. Mr. Mcconnell i ask further proceedings under the quorum call be dispensed with. The presiding officer without objection. Mr. Mcconnell im not sure if you have a fax machine at home, not Many Americans do anymore. Neither do a lot of Small Businesses. So it seems a bit a odd to tell Small Businesses they need to fax in enrollment foamplet for be obamacare for obamacare. That is what the Obama Administration is now doing. I might paraphrase the president , the 1980s called and they want their Health Policy back. Now, to be fair, snail mail is also an option and it looks like the president s people will try to have the issue fixed soon despite passing the law more than three years ago. But then again this is the same president who told us that obamacare is working the way its supposed to, president obama said, and that those who already have Health

Other threats facing this country. I dont share my opponents view that isis or other terrorists are going to cause the collapse of this country. America is strong, we have a strong smelter in the world and we are going to take on this thread, we have a strategy to do that, building an international coalition. The airstrikes have taken hundreds of fighters and we are working with over 60 nations to address this threat. But we dont need is our leaders raising concerns about our ability to take this on. We can take on anything that american sets his mind to do and that is what im counting on. Do think it was rise of president obama to rollout the use of Ground Troops . We have heard from the other generals that we dont need round troops at this time. If the president wants to send in Ground Troops, he needs to come to congress and ask for authorization for use of military force. When american interests are threatened, we reserve the right to take any action and i think that that is true i

Ause he has no mr. Cuomo, one minute. As again, as opposed to rhetoric. Mr. Astorinos tax plan is tax cut for the rich, it would decimate public keanl would decimate the budget. Thear as race rests, federal government is suing one county executive out of 3,000 in the nation for discrimination, its mr. Astorino. Theyve taken 20 million from him. For discri
