Of state as the situation indet. You can see that online at cspan. Org. And were with travis. Caller the iran deal is good. I fought in iraq, and i am tired saying the deal is bad, and lets do nothing and invade. Really, what do we do to iran . Air strikes . Travis, as a veteran, what do you think about veterans against the deal and other groups that say iran is supporting the terrorists groups and the groups that fought in iraq directly against our troops during the iraq war . Caller thats the same veterans. What do you think about us soviets . How do you think about us arming saudi arabia who cut off the heads of christians everyday . Its a concern of mine where i dont care, because i would rather have iran be monitored and tracked and we would let them have certain things but wont let have others, and i would rather us be in control and invade them and kill them and make another vacuum for isis to occupy. The alternative that anybody else can offer is pointless, and i think obama, e
Especially communities of color, with high latino populations. Folks didnt want to be counted. Took large invests in folks not concerned what the census could do for them, movement building, doortodoor contact, education to get people to fill that out so it could do two things. One it could build a case Voting Rights happening in different parts of the state, specifically in Yakima Valley and everett, north of seattle. It also brought more people facetoface with folks already invested in the political outcomes of their communities. They could meet people who could intro for them, that meant better sidewalks and street lights, right . Bringing macro down to the micro so people could see this affects everyday life. This affects my commute, my Childrens School and wages and census is first part of that as politicos, we look at census thing that doesnt impact us as much but is very important.

Evolved, because theres such a rich history and what you see and hope for moving forward. I was talking to tim about this earlier coming in. So the print, i want to say the print is the median age is probablily early 60s. We Just Launched a new website the main demographic at thenation. Com is 25 to 34. The continuity in change, the ability to bring people in and i mean, i want subscribers who are 105 and i want readers who are 12, and we had writers who are 13 and writers who are 104. So i think thats a great span, and its complicated, because i remember tom frank, many years ago did a cover story for us, what is hip . And i got angry calls, this is years ago. Richard was sitting anyway, what do you mean . What about my Health Insurance program . [ laughter ] so we got straddled.

I was going to speak of someone else in the protradition of great writers and essayists contributing to the nation.
