this ship of a wayward ship that he s overseeing and to really give an opportunity for a young people in the state of florida, hopefully young people around the country, to produce something out of this injustice that really moves our community forward, and it s the trayvon martin civil rights act. tell me about the demand you re making. i understand there are between 30 and 90 members of your group that have been in the capitol full time for the past few days. you re asking for a trayvon martin civil rights act. what does that piece of legislation look like? so what we ve done, you know, legislators have a really hard job, so what we ve done as young people around the state is try to do a little bit of work to bring something to the table here in this case. so we consider three pillars that we believe contributed to the environment in the state of florida that created a george zimmerman and that snuffed out trayvon martin. and so those three pillars are the stand your ground law.
just try to get everybody into your pool, try to attract them. instead of being worried your great marketing is going to get to the wrong people. the affordable care act created a kind of floor, right, that creates the conditions for a competitive marketplace if it works properly. that s your understanding. it s a catalyst for us. it enables us to compete for the business of 40 million people just like any consumer product. it s not going to come to us, but we re going to go out there and we re going to put our products out there and be out there like a campaign and share with people what oscar offers. why am i let s say i m in the exchange. let s say i find myself, you know, without employer insurance and let s say i m getting a subsidy from the government because i fall in that band. and i go and pull up my new york state exchange, frinor instance. why am i going to choose oscar? first of all, we re simple. we re going to take the jargon out and make it something you can un
outside the senate gallery and at each entrance to the capitol and none of them had seen or found jars containing feces of urine. and, quote, multiple officers throughout the capitol said they had not heard of any jars being found until a reporter mentioned it. for its part, the texas department of public safety is standing by its initial claim but they appear to be short of any kind of proof. in a letter responding to questions from a democratic state rep, the director of the department of public safety writes the suspicious jars, cans and other items were not confiscated. the visitor had the option of storing the items elsewhere or discarding them in trash boxes provided by the state protection board. the protesters just dropped off their jars of excrement on the way into the senate chamber and picked them up on their way out. the mystery behind the case of the suspected jars of feces may never be definitively solved. did the texas department of public safety slander women s
rights protesters or polite to a punch of poop yielding hecklers? the republican bill designed to shut down most of the state s clinics really riled up the electorate in texas. as demonstrators gathered in the capitol to protest, without a single jar of human waste among them, rick perry signed that bill into law. the activists who fought against this bill as it moved through the legislature are not going away. they re simply refocusing the fight. joining me now is elise hogue, texan and president of neral pro-choice america. it s good to have you here. it s great to see you, chris. the first question is, why should i not feel deflated and bummed out? wendy davis add this amazing filibuster, galvanized public opinion. they pushed the thing through. he s signing it. 100 republicans at the signing. they re all celebrating. they won, we lost. when your opposition has to resort to the we re losing, we re losing, hey, look, poop
job, so what we ve done as young people around the state is try to do a little bit of work to bring something to the table here in this case. so we consider three pillars that we believe contributed to the environment in the state of florida that created a george zimmerman and that snuffed out trayvon martin. and so those three pillars are the stand your ground law. we agree it needs to be repealed. laws are supposed to prevent violence, not encourage and protect violent offenders. racial profiling. we know that it s a problem rampant around the country, especially here in florida, and we think this is an opportunity to change that. and also the war on youth. more specifically, the school-to-prison pipeline which florida is number one in. so we feel if you are able to attack those three pillars, we can move to a place where young people actually have an opportunity to feel safe and feel productive and live fulfilling lives here in florida. phillip agnew, from the dream defenders, cur
