As well as me, this spring marks the 25th anniversary of her graduation from the law school. Its okay , tracey, you dont look it. I happened to be with professor meares for the john howard organization, a wonderful organization in chicago that works to improve the quality of illinois prison system.

I think the obvious ideas are the best. They are latent, out there, but dont gel until someone names them. And when you do, it is obvious. I think people are sensing that there is something deeply wrong and troubling with the narrative that tells them the United States is in trouble because there are no so many minorities. They need another story, though, before they can say i am throwing that aside and dont want to be associated with it. So i think if i were speaking to this audience, midwestern republican audience, i would Say Something like this we need to stop for a second and talk about the demographics of the Republican Party. You know that party is 90 white. 98 of republican elected officials are white. All persons of good will need to stop and ask how did that happen in a country which whites are 64 of the population .

And there was a photo of one of my agents driving one of these high dollar vehicles out of the driveway, and he said, eric see that picture . I said, yeah. Do you know what happened when i drove it down the street . I said, no. He said, the neighborhood came out on the street and they were clapping. This is a high volume drug dealer. Thats the kind of people we represent. Thats when the agent drove down the street . He took the corvette out of the driveway, and they were lined up clapping. We represent some of the most vulnerable people, the poor, the elderly, the young, the addicted, and they have no voice. They have no way to sell their home and move away when a drug dealer sets up shop in a neighborhood and the Property Values drop.
