He was so poor that when he was arrested, his parents couldnt make 3000 of bail. He spent three years in rikers. A 16yearold kid. Nobody deserves to be in prison for three years without a trial date. The sixth amendment says that you get a trial, it also says you get a speedy trial. I do not what happened to him in prison, i can only imagine. He tried to commit suicide four times.

And today, only 25 of our legislature consists of women. And in the senate, the number has grown to 13. This is not just a problem massachusetts. 18 of the 500 seats in congress are made up of women. There is not enough progress. We need to support women who have dreams of running for office. Those of us who are female legislators have to set an example to future generations by showing that it can be done. When i was head of equal pay for equal work, i always said, and i say it today, when you go through the door some of the people here and myself opened pushed open, dont close it behind you. Keep it open. The bottom line is, Women Deserve to be in office. Not because of the fact they are women. They are just as qualified and hardworking as men. Too many young women do not feel they have enough credentials to run. You heard that

You have to be a doctor. You have to be a surgeon thomas a care provider. You have to dismiss your emotions. You have to cut that away. That away. You have one objective say this guys life. You have to stop the bleeding. You can get him back home to his family. In his first

Now they could agree to it he cuts there was the sense that the United States actually tried. Rouhani is playing the same trick on the United States.
