Well. What we have a historic opportunity to peacefully achieve this goal. And to me it seems like youve got to give this diplomacy a chance to work. I think its only common sense as president obama said war , should be a last resort not a first resort and a peaceful end to Irans Nuclear program, i believe, is in the best interests of america, and in the best interests of our great ally israel. And that is why im concerned, and its not partisan. I have a concern that reaches across party lines that some colleagues are pushing to enact new sanctions while our negotiators are still at the table. I dont believe that strengthens us.

In the old days, people went to the factory to work, they went home, and they had money in the pockets. These days, were all working for the internet, and we are not paid. It is not a knowledge that we are working for them. Worse than that, then we are being packaged up as the product. What the companies are doing is learning more about our behavior from what weve published, what we buy, what we say, we dont say. They are learning about us. And they are transforming us, and repackaging us as the product. Not only are we working for free, but that we are being sold. It is the ultimate ....
Two years weve also launched a program to integrate Employment Services with treatment, so that we can help those with drug addiction not only get clean but get back to work. I am proud that together we enacted an overdose protection law to provide Legal Protection to people and especially to Health Care Professionals who are trying to help. I am proud that we are trying to help nonviolent offenders get access to college through the njstep program. And today, i would like to announce our next steps in helping those battling the disease of drug addiction by improving the way we deliver these services. Right now there are numerous federal, state, and county government programs, providers and nonprofit partners, who fund and deliver some form of adult addiction services. How to access those services can be ....
Infrastructure are the essential ingredients to a strong economy. But so is transparency and accountability to government. I want to applaud both chambers of the assembly for returning to richmond with a serious purpose to reform our ethics laws demands and refers to an office i honored a Campaign Pledge to put a hundred dollar cap on gifts on myself, my family and menstruation and their family , and im confident that by the time of the jury will have made 100 cap on all gifts as a standard for all virginia public officials. [applause] with that cap we should do also establish a bipartisan Ethics Commission with real investigative powers to offer guidance on the law and to identify and sanction those that may violate it.
