we gonna be a self governing nation. victoria, your thoughts hat is a square with the committee s larger mission? the quest of the commission is so important to democracy right now. when we look back 50, 60, 70 years from now god willing will see how important the says. but that s what the context of time, alicia, right now for a lot of people it doesn t have the same residents, especially for people who can t make ends meet, this people we see poll after pay let brag the economy, inflation, we ve seen the cost of everyday goods skyrocketing. we need to understand that bounce, in addition to that, for some people it may have a direct effect. there may be some republicans, independents, that are on the fence. after seeing all the committee hearing saying, you know what,
