As i suggest after the administrations decision on doma was announced, americas most treasured ideals were not put into action or given the full force of law in a single instant. On the contrary, our ideals are continually advanced as our Justice Systems and as our union are strengthened. And as social science, human experience, legislation and judicial decisions expand the circle of those who are entitled to the protections and rights enumerated by the constitution. As we gather here in washingto
That is something i have been working on and committed to for decades. We saw similar problems back in the 1980s, when i served on a workforce Training Commission organized by the Wt Grant Foundation and the National Center for the economy. The problems have grown more complex as the economy has changed. Nearly 6 million young people are out of school and out of work. That is almost one in every six. For young people of color, things are even harder. If you do not have a College Degree or did not graduate from high school, most stores are not open, no matter how hard you not. Think about what that means. It is not just about missing a paycheck or going without benefits, like health care, when young people cannot find work, they miss out on a crucial period of personal and professional growth that reverberates for decades in lower wages and lost opportunities. Those first jobs i certainly remember my first job that is where you learn skills, even if it is just showing up on time. That i

Happened and what is now a breathless manhunt. Well bring you thatten a moment. Tonight, well show you president obamas powerful eulogy for those murdered at the emanuel ame in south carolina. But we begin tonight with the decision by the Supreme Court declaring marriage a fundamental right and right that gays and lesbians can not be deprived in not in any state of the union or not in america anymore. [ cheers and applause ] for supporters of Marriage Equality joy outside the court, the ruling came down. Impromptu celebrations in new yorks Greenwich Village in the spot 46 years ago, the stonewall uprising began. Essentially a street fight for equality that brought us to this day. In some of the 13 states where samesex marriages were prohibited. Couples did what they wanted to do for years. They got married today. The case that paved the way though stemmed from an already existing marriage and a man named james obergifeld who wanted to be named on his husbands death certificate as survi
Dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it. Thats what i do not and i do not believe that the laws they propose we pass will do anything about it, except it will destroy our economy.

Yesterday, rubio headed to the National Press club to unveil his retirement reform plan, one more step in the 2016 rampup.
