We have many obligations as a nation but i make no apologies for saying this year ago. We have only one true secret obligation and to protect those we send War And Care for them and their families when they come home and when they dont. And i am so proud that reagan signed the Pact Act one of the most significant laws ever helping veterans and their families expose to toxic materials. And i was around during the vietnam war. Nobody was ever able to prove illness as a consequence of Agent Orange and nobody able to prove initially that because they lived in burn pits like my son lived next to in iraq for a year that that was the cause of their illness but because of that act, the surviving spouse and two children are eligible for a stipend of 3000 a month. And those children who lost a parent with benefits to go to college and get job training. And it has already helped over 1 Million veterans and their families so far. And i love them and i am so proud of my sons service. We do get it.

She rejected books about Keeping Enslavers as cruel or unjust. There was the denial of the domestic terror organization, the Ku Klux klan. As the Kkk Lynched black people tHroughout the south during reconstruction, politicians denied it existed and argued that whites were the true victims.
