that washington himself is more memorialized in washington, d.c. , someone wasue saying would you consider washington heights to be named after him? one --will pull on that that one.ibble on there's finally a washington street, there hadn't been. that is why make the claim that it is ironic that someone who no one really remembers now, and did not have a significant presidential career was memorialized so much. on presidential assassinations where the author got it wrong. he said when garfield was shot there were -- there was no reaction, no efforts to memorialized. as opposed to others like kennedy. i read that and went back to all of the original newspapers and was like no, lots of people wanted to do lots of things to commemorate garfield. yes. >> what is the story with alexander graham bell and the bullet? garfield backtook to the white house. way from baltimore and potomac station. he was shot, they took him back to the white house, which is what you did, you took people home to take care of them. there were a number of physicians trying to help. they could not find the bullet. were d

they gathered in washington today in lafayette plaza. what you're seeing here are some of antifa encountering police. a lot has dissipated. there is back and forth between this protest group and law enforcement in washington, d.c. nbc's jeff bennett is in lafayette park where the rally took place. jeff, get us up to speed with what's going on. indeed what happened? you and i spoke a few hours as this was getting underway. there was a small tempest, a small conflict at lafayette plaza. that's dissipated. what are you seeing now? >> hey there, david. we actually walked into the back half of that skirmish. we were trying to make our way from the white house to a live location. we were routed around it by secret service. as you mention, the white supremacists were outnumbered exponentially. there were two dozen of them and the number of counter protesters numbered really into the thousands. somewhere between 1500 and 2000 counter protesters. the white nationalists were outmatched. they were disorganized and dee legitimatized by that poor sho

washington, and his granddaughter and george washington lafayette. his son have been sent to save him from the french revolution. he was a little boy. they stopped and hoban had the militia and forced everyone to do it. a 21 gun salute. he was finished enough not to have windows yet or any of that. washington could see what it looked like. >> george washington saw his vision. people should know their worst three basic classes of workers. there was the elite, scottish masons who did the stone work and the carving. the irish workers and then there were slaves. what was the role of slaves and the actual building of the white house? >> labor. the scottish stonemasons preferred they hired slaves to be apprentices. it was a desirable job for a slave. the contracts were extensive. they had to be closed. they learned a skill. so as an advantage to them and perhaps buying freedom after it was over that they were no longer laborers. the scots did teach them on the job. i would say about 30 percent of the working force was black, and were slaves. they did not h

[laughter] and she became a master player at the washington -- in the washington power game. she was very good friends with -- she cultivated the friendship of james buchanan who was secretary of state, her husband's boss. and she would invite him to dinner parties and sit her husband next to him and she once wrote him a letter saying that she knew her husband would like to be sent to mexico city, but she thought italy would be more fun. can any. men here imagine how you would feel if your wife wrote a letter to your boss suggesting a different transfer. she was nervey and she was very strong. like few women of her time she participated in the nation's divisive struggles over slavery, westward expansion and the war with mexico. when her husband grew depressed over his constant struggles with the bureaucracy, and i can assure you they were no different then than they are now, he quit his job and they went to california for the gold rush. rose would return to washington a year later traveling alone through the jungeles of panama, and this was a time when travel was obviously a

washington try to bring tim attorney general. washington also wanted to nominate the supreme court. he refused to the supreme court at that time. they had a very close relationship and it was really washington who probably persuaded john adams that he should send to france and appoint a higher office. yes, gail. [inaudible] >> what was your inspiration to write the book on marshall and how one did it take you to do the due diligence and pull the whole thing together? >> right, good question. i worked on this book for seven years. fortunately, i have a day job. as is mentioned, i teach constitutional law and international law. it is impossible to take constitutional and international law without john marshall's name all over. he just dominates the field so much. i was interested in finding out how he put these principles out of the air, which were coming out from significant in shaping our national during the character of our government. many of the cases that marshall faced, and cases particularly involving pirates lazing indians were cases of first impression. no one had thought ab

and burned washington. until he becomes president, you know, i can't point to anything that was an enormous success. when jefferson sent him to england to negotiate a treaty on his own with great britain -- and this is early in the 19th century -- he desperately wanted to come home with a great treaty. i think he saw -- he respected monroe, he knew monroe -- respected thomas paine, he knew paine was a great writer and the most famous writer of the 19th century. he knew jefferson had one great -- won great accolades for the declaration of independence. he was hoping that treaty with england would be his great prize. that would equal what paine and jefferson had achieved. but he sends the treaty back and jefferson rejects the treaty because the british refused to denounce their policy of impressment, of seizing american soldiers -- american sailors and forcing a man to the royal navy. they claimed they were deserters from the royal navy. jefferson rejects that treaty because they refused to renounce their pol

just a little bit about george washington in general. >> at 21 washington was was a very different washington from the one we know and hold sacred. different from the stately commander of the continental army the country gazing off into posterity. this is not that washington possessed of superhuman virtue given the chance with that nation step down to a quiet life on the virginia plantation. not a cherry tree bedtime story. to be temperamental and petulant demanding and stubborn and annoying and passionate. washington has not yet learned to cultivate this image or contain his emotions stead is a raw young man struggling toward maturity and in love with a close friends wife. this is the washington of emotional neediness and personal ambition and mistakes everything put on a grander scale most young people make mistakes many learn from that the difference with washington that quickly expanded from local to regional and to global with far-reaching historical consequences. this washington personally bears responsibility to inadvertently striking a spark to light the tender into the french and ind

washington's -- washington square water conservation project. >> good morning, commissioners. my name is levi connover. the item before you today is about action and possible action for concept design of the watch -- washington square water conservation project. approval of this action by the commission is the approval action as defined by s.f. administrative code, chapter 31. under the strategic plan, we seek to inspire public space, strengthen the quality of existing parks and facilities and inspire stewardship and natural resources and continued water conservation plan with fixtures, pathways, landscape, irrigation and modernization. washington square is located in north beach at the intersection of columbus and palace street. it is one of the city's old as parks and was issued landmark designation in 1999. and 2012, we partnered with sfp you see. of the 12 parks surveyed, washington square was the highest user of water on an annual per acre basis with a total use of 3.3 million gallons of water a year. contributing factors are age, the current irrigation system was install

a white supremacist rally in washington d.c. fizzled out on sunday after only a handful of neo nazis showed up the supremacy ists were massively outnumbered by hundreds of counter protesters rally was held on the first anniversary of a demonstration in charlottesville virginia where one woman was killed. i have hundreds of people marching through washington to condemn racial hatred the year after a white supremacist rally in charlottesville ten deadly these counter-demonstrators far outnumber the white nationalist protest which is also being held in the u.s. capital yes it's vital that. we don't allow white supremacist and open fascists to take the street on contested i don't want nazis and white supremacists to speak for me i thought it was important to come out so that there's other voices to counteract them this empowerment of people who think that their comrades in the conference it was either the booze rights is the way out of line and because it was against all isn't it ridiculous. degree program twenty white nationalists

and turkey are so strange then the way that state of mind and washington thank you . all right let's get the view now from turkey correspondent doreen jones reporting for us in istanbul dorian turkey's foreign minister has said further pressure will only hurt bilateral ties he's vowed retaliation but how much worse can relations get while the potential is to get a lot worse currently u.s. forces are working with a syrian kurdish militia just across turkey's border turkey considers that militia a terrorist organization and if they so wish they could put a lot of pressure on those u.s. forces and the kurdish militia they're working with that would ratchet up tensions further on top of that washington is looking for ankara to enforce its new sanctions against iran and cry out for a few so do so given the current climate is unlikely to change that stance that again puts the two nato allies on a collision course potentially is for a lot more difficult times ahead. turkish currency tanking for months now but investors seemed really concerned now inflation as it nearly sixte

i am hallie jackson in washingt washington. on this friday, august 31st, 2018, the nation is pausing to remember and celebrate the lives of two american icons. all of it is happening right now. over the next hour, too. the left side of your screen, live pictures from detroit. thousands of people have lined up to pay their final respects to the queen of soul. a celebration of the life of aretha franklin. it'll be a who's who in the world of entertainment and music. on the right side, a who's who in the world of politics. the capital of tol of the unite states, not far from where we are, and a celebration of john mccain. senator, war hero, presidential candidate, husband, father, grandfather. his casket arriving in washington overnight. we are waiting now for the motorcade, the procession to the capital rotunda this morning. john mccain will be the 31st american to lie in state. 242 years of this republic. we have a team of correspondents, analysts, friends, all here this hour, as we watch poet of theboth of the. we want to begin

they had never been to washington. one of them really didn't know how to shoot the gun he had been given. he had to have lessons. they didn't know where anything was. the only way they knew where anything was was the map in the phone book. they didn't even know that truman was not in the white house. so they got in a cab and went saidthere, and the cabbie no, the president is over in the blair house. oh, that's interesting. they cased out the place and said, we can bulldoze our way right through this door. here is all the guards. so they came back at 2:00 in the afternoon. at this time, truman was there and he was taking a nap. these guys come in from opposite sides. the blair house is right on the corner of lafayette square and pennsylvania avenue. tried to storm in through the front door. unfortunately, his first shot misfired. there was a click, which alerted all the police officers. and there was this gun battle that happened. despite all the bullets, this guy was still alive because of all the iron grating, ironwo

the british foreign secretary urges more sanctions against russia during a visit to washington as the us treasury hints at further punitive measures over moscow's quote malign activity. even more economic. we will not hesitate to contact does not demonstrably and significantly change. microsoft claims russian hackers are added again by targeting us. while listing. the giant took the chance to push its own problems. and as the syrian army gears up to retake the rebel held on claims of western media outlets and warned of a civilian massacre the same outlets fail to mention that much of the area is under the control of hardline islamist groups accuse. the other two lovers watching in northern michigan traverse city or just here in moscow this is international and we are certainly glad to have you with us. all right sanctions were high on the agenda in washington this tuesday with yet more calls to tighten restrictions against russia over a series of issues for which moscow is being blamed for the british foreign secretary whose son who is on his first official visit to the u.s. urged the

in washington will expect the kabuki theater. respecting the president, those are the same platitudes judge robert announced in his confirmation hearing. i think democrats, in the process, have to try to ensure judge kavanaugh doesn't get away with that kind of kabuki theater. returning to the first question, this is an extraordinary moment for the country in which the president of the united states essentially was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in cohenichael pleading. he has nominated a potential supreme court justice who is out of the mainstream, particularly in his views on presidential authority and if a president can be subpoenaed. i think this is an extraordinary moment. i hope the country rises up, particularly. in the hearings there has been more activity around this in the last couple of days. we have seen democratic senators say this is outrageous and out of the norm. we are going to take the step of canceling meetings with judge kavanaugh. they don't have a lot of procedure they can use, but i do think judge ka

back to washington d.c.. if you protesters came to the "unite the right", that was the name of the rally. a much larger group called "shut it down" also joined in. police have done a pretty good job of keeping both groups separate. it is our understanding because of the pretty significant rain fall in there, most of the "unite the right" crowd has disbanded and headed home. the "shut it down" crowd also seems to be on the move, what direction that is griff jenkins is with counter protesters there. what is happening? reporter: has calmed down some. we are here at 17th and pennsylvania. this is the entrance were jason kessler and the dozen or so "unite the right" folks went in. a little while ago a police sergeant came up to this exit where the antifa folks have been. they wanted to block kessler. there was was upwards of 500 to 1000. the sergeant made a bullhorn and loud announcement and said that kessler has left. "unite the right" rally has ended. please disperse.please go home. however, as you can see, not

, what has not changed-- i should not say washington. the beginning of andrew jackson's presidency and the gallery, the gallery is to the south. when those were completed, nothing much has changed since then. if you ask what is significant, the answer has been said by several people. icon is a greek word for an image which is a reflection of what you see yourself. when the world looks at the white house it sees america and when americans look at it they see themselves. once you change that and then in fact you have altered the significance. i think the answer technically is there's no reason why it should change in 100 or 200 years. it's capable of meeting-- being maintained. all of that is protectable. with regard to the inside the answer was not picked up earlier, the whole issue about the inside and the changes that have occurred.>> i'm going to cut you off and how appropriate that the last word goes to church l. >> the whole place of the white house is to meet people. hundred years since, technology will take all of us away. what you

washington. the alliance between these two men, washington, the father of his country, and hamilton, the father of american government and american capitalism, did more than anything else to bring about the modern united states of america in which you and i live today. george put it well when he said, you want to see alexander hamilton's memorial? look around you. he sees clear into the future than any other of the founding fathers. it's this combination of washington's impeccable judgment and character joined with hamilton's dazzling intellect. together they're all concrete, really matchless in its impact. the relationship between these two men, i think, is a very interesting one and revealing about both men's character. and i want to focus on that tonight because a time most of the focus will be on before washington becomes president, although we can have, obviously, explore other areas in the question and answer period. now, with the benefit of historical hindsight, and that's the one advantag

in washington d.c. there were far more counter protesters who converge on the city to stand against the white nationalist message of exclusion and white supremacy a lot of these people here came from all over the country and there were several hundred more than there were actual white nationalists who came to protest for their cause but a lot of the people here told me that they fear that the tide has not turned since last year in charlottesville when heather higher was killed they fear that white nationalism is still on the rise in the country fueled in part by a president who refuses to speak explicitly out against it. are there reporting in washington now cubans are starting a debate on a new draft constitution today for the next four months people are being invited to voice their opinion on the document at hundreds of public events on the island a vote just be taken in february of next year the new constitution would be for the first time recognize the role of the market and the private sector many

a portrait of george washington and soon will be publishing a book about washington's leadership. a side know if you want more hamilton, we'll be offering a specialty tour at 10:00 every saturday starting this saturday titles hamilton's bff in front of me. i bet you know who we'll be talking ability. so don't miss your shot for this opportunity. you can buy a ticket from us. i know it's terrible. so here's your moment you've been waiting for. dr.henriquez with right hand man, alexander hamilton's relationship with george washington, the musical versus the reality. >> [ applause ] >>> thanks, thanks so much. actually i thought we might be where two or three were gathered together this kind of weather. i'm really pleased so many of you made it out now. if the power holds up for the next hour, we'll be in business. otherwise we'll talk the old fashion way by candled light -- candlelight and see how it goes. as you see i always like to start my talks with a little joke of one kind or other. this one involves a retirement speech for a priest leaving his parish after 35 years of dedicat

for instance, washington is a small. that is true. i do not know that it is being drained right now, but it is a swamp, and it has been for a long time. as i see it,pitch, and it was wrapped in other stuff that you might like or might not like, but that was the policy pitch. since then, i have seen three kinds of disruptions since president trump became president. the first one is a policy kind of disruption, tariffs to push back on trade. border security, pushing back on what basically is going on at the border. tnd questions about wha the role of the u.s. should be when it comes to foreign worse overseas. i find nothing outrageous about any of these policy disruptions. i think they are perfectly legitimate debates to have. are perfectly legitimate discussions to have, and in some cases my personal view, as somebody who wrote a book about afghanistan, i think we should be debating and discussing a lot more than we what the role of our fighting men and women should be, because they give so much and we spend so little time honoring it

george washington, monroe, and pierce, are the three presidents. there are several pieces of furniture in the house that franklin and jane took to the white house to furnish the eight rooms that were to be used for their personal life. one is the sofa over here under the portrait. the table in the center of the room was known as the white house table in his sister's family. so evidently they were bothering furniture from friends and relatives to help furnish these eight rooms. over against the wall is it a little writing desk and chair that belonged to franklin pierce. and he would be up until 3:00 in the morning sometimes answering correspondence and writing speeches sitting in the little chair here. and this room, this is the dining room of the frank link pierce house, and in this room we have the secretary from pierces war office. when he was through with it, he gave it to his law partner, josiah, and it was in that family when the house opened, so they very generously gave it to the brigade to demonstrate his law practice. this is how it opened

all right so let's go and bring in our panel joining us in washington d.c. hillary mann leverett former white house. house and state department official with responsibility for iran in tehran. a professor of world studies at the university of tehran and in geneva john mark rickly the head of global risk at the geneva center for security policy welcome to you all hillary i want to start with you so here is yet another shift in tone from donald trump earlier this month he threatens iran now he's saying that he's willing to meet with iranian president hassan rouhani with no conditions is there some kind of strategy here or is this a spontaneous statement. well it's hard to say for sure with president trump and in particular the wild swings in rhetoric make it more difficult but i think a sober analysis of it trumps moves and what he's done on the world stage and who he actually speaks to and from what we understand listens to in washington i think there is a strategy it is been vastly under reported and under estimated the key foreign policy person that trump h

and here in washington with the questions, james hohmann, national political reporter for the "washington post," and al weaver, he covers politics for the "washington examiner." at the outset, let us talk about the organization. what is your mission and what role do you plan to play in the midterm elections? alex: our sole purpose is to and defeat the democrats. we are the gop's premier opposition research organization. we spend countless hours reviewing videotape, going out in the field ourselves, reading and producing countless pages of material to really shape the narrative on democratic candidates. in the 2018 cycle, we will be playing the same role as we had in our inception during 2013. we will look at democratic targets, particularly our friends running in the trump states, the 10 democratic candidates who are running in states that trump won in 2016, along with a host of other house and state candidates. america rising really covers it all. host: does opposition research include following candidates around with cameras, monitoring every statement they make, every media appearance

treasury has frozen millions of dollars worth of russian assets or washington correspondents america has more on that so it's getting harder to keep up with the rate of sanctions washington's imposing what do we know about this latest statement from the treasury well the treasury department did explain it all in its statement saying that these efforts have been taken in order to counter russia's efforts to challenge the u.s. and its allies listing a few examples including the occupation of crimea subverting western democracy its neighboring the assad regime just to name a few now in the statement to the treasury department also reiterated how well they're saying go away saying quote the treasury's russia sanctions program is among our most effective and impactful since january. twenty seventeen this administration has sanctioned two hundred seventeen russian related individuals and entities for a broad range of activities check out what else with the bread and brazenness of russia's malign conduct demands a firm and vigorous response our actions are imposing an unprecedented level of

white nationalists in washington, d.c. covering the aftermath of that and the ongoing counterprotest in washington, d.c. you're seeing a group gathered outside the white house. and near to lafayette plaza where that protest took place. garrett haak, my colleague who usually covers the capital, is there for us. what's the latest hearing from those standing century right to the entrance of the old executive office building in washington, d.c.? >> reporter: yeah, david, look, the rally, itself, is over here, but the anger that it has unleashed is still rippling around washington, d.c.,right now, surrounding this exit to lafayette park are no fewer than at least three that i can tell d dissparate groups here. the antifa group with shields, helmet and projectiles apparently. they were throwing bottles a while ago at the police, who appear to be spoiling for a fight here, rushing into the breach when we thought this fence was opening and the rallyi goers might be coming out. there are black live matters protesters on the far sid

host: cheryl chumley, and opinion editor from the washington post -- washington >> tonight at 8:00 on c-span, maggie talks about covering the front white house. >> the relationship between this white house -- that is what you see when you watch these press briefings on television. they are combative. transitioned from what has always been a typically adversarial nature into something more openly hostile. p.m.,urday at 8:00 african-american lgbtq leaders talk about issues facing their communities including acceptance, inclusion, and civic engagement. >> we talk about voting and running for office, but there's so much work that has to happen beyond those things. david was saying, just as we've been here, policy is moving to prevent queer people from being parents, from adopting children and fostering children. it is better for a child to stay in the system then queer people adopting them. we're not just going to change that by voting. we have to be paying attention all the time. they've got to the hearing loss all the time -- hearing from us all the time. >> watch on c-span, www.c-span.

and policy events in washington and around the country. c-span is brought to you by your cable or satellite provider. square, a public park across from the white house is named after marquis do lafayette.-de next, we discussed the book, "trouble in lafayette square: assassination, protest & murder at the white house." the event is one hour and five minutes. good evening, welcome to national press club. an editor with bloomberg news, and i'm the 111th president of the national press come -- press club. if you have not already, please islands your cell phones. we do not want them ringing during the taping of this event. we are going to be broadcast on c-span this evening. please do not let it be your cell phone that interrupts the site. hastu are tweeting, the htag is #npclive. it's my pleasure to introduce our celebrated author, gil klein . he is my predecessor as the president of the national press club. he served as president from 1994, when his two children were very young. i believe one is in the audience. there is andrew. i see him. wi

>> i think it's clear that they're doing that in washington right now. we're seeing some early reports that the tech industry is pushing to get a regulation in washington from republicans who now control the town i think the idea there is they can probably get a better deal under a trump administration than under a future democratic one. >> the take at the time as we look at mark zuckerberg and his sitdown is that the lawmakers have a long way to go before they get their hands around how this works it's complicated stuff i do think there are people in the legislature, congress who understand these issues. senator warner and thune are pretty on top of it. if there's any will to do a basic privacy law, we haven't

joining us from washington, the co-founder of axios, mike allen. good morning. >> good morning, welcome to august. >> thank you very much. we missed that one. days are flying by on the set here. >> talk to us about axios' 1 big thing. >> you were right. it's 98 bottles of beer on the wall. 98 days until the midterm. the axios 1 big thing. the fall fore toeld. epic days to come. compressed in the amazing news events of yesterday, we have a preview of the mueller report to come. the president set the tone early in the morning by tweeting collusion is not a crime. but he still say there is was no collusion any way. then the paul manafort trial opens. the first of the mueller trials. the $15,000 ostrich coat getting the headlines out of that. and then last night, bob costa pointing out to brian williams that president trump may have not had the chance or may not have as much likelihood of granting a pardon to paul manafort because the trial is not televised. if he's making a play for a pardon, the president's less likely to see him because it's not liv

i'm katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london. the first shots in a trade war between china and america were fired last month. but they were small compared to what the trump administration is planning next. this week chinese officials will fly to washington to try to prevent a full scale artillery assault on chinese exports to the us. and today hundreds of american businesses added their voice telling the white house, please don't ratchet up this battle. many us importers don't like it and nor do some exporters. here's one example — american lobster sales to china had been growing steadily in recent years, but that stopped when beijing hit the american lobster industry with a 25% import tax. it was retaliating against us tariffs on chinese goods. it's exactly how trade wars start. nick bryant reports from maine. the waters off maine has become an unexpected theatre of the trade war. with the local lobster fishermen in the defenceless victims of the battle that is intensifying between washington and beijing. china has targeted lo

then, faced with going to washington to run the country. it was a stressful and difficult time in their lives. pierce's presidency had a few successes. he reduced the national debt by 60%. he had trade agreements with canada on fishing treaties. the trade with japan opened up. admiral perry came back and we trade agreements with the japanese. the southern border of the united states was defined by the gadsden purchase during his time. the army and the navy was modernized under the secretary of war, jefferson davis, who went on to be the president of the confederacy during the civil war. pierce was a lawyer. he felt slavery should be handled with an act of congress. there should be legislation that would prohibit it. he was not in favor of it but he was afraid the country would split over that. his focus when he was president was to keep the country together. ofunderstood the hardships fighting the revolution was to create the country. he was trying to keep it together. it did split after lincoln was elect. franklin pierce had one term in of

it isa day in washington, so to speak. it is a day which will be tugging on the hearts of many people in the city. yes, there is no doubt about it. we are hearing from both sides of the aisle, former presidents, both republican and democrat, offering condolences and is very clearly stating what a remarkable senator and statesman john mccain was. i can tell you as a journalist, those of us who interviewed him over the years, he was always available for quotes. he had an encyclopaedic knowledge about what was going on in the world. he was the chair of the very powerful armed services committee. and most remarkably, in recent months, and in the past couple of years, he was the most prominent republican willing to take on, directly, donald trump, both during the campaign and during president trump's administration as well. let's touch on a couple of thoseissues well. let's touch on a couple of those issues in terms of global affairs. i know that many world leaders will knowjohn mccain from his frequent trips to various countri

they had never been to washington. one of them really didn't know how to shoot the gun he had been given. he had to have lessons. they didn't know where anything was. the only way they knew where anything was was the map in the phone book. they didn't even know that truman wasn't in the white house. they got in a cab and went down there and the cabbie said truman -- the president is over in the blair house. -- they case place d out the place. they came back at 2:00 in the afternoon. at this time, truman was there taking a nap. these guys come in from opposite sides. the house is on the corner of lafayette square and pennsylvania avenue. one guy tried to storm in the front door. fired -- shot was misfired, which alerted all the police officers. and there was this gun battle that happened. fired, all the bullets this guy was still alive because of all the ironwork around the door. but then, he ran out of bullets. he sat down and tried to figure out how to reload it. the other guy was coming in from the other side. and he

how come the majority never works in washington anymore? i can think of three things. one because of citizens united and the door between industry and government. [applause] because of those, money does not just talk in washington. money shouts. money screens. money commands. a lot of politicians on both sides of the aisle follow the money. that is one. firedepublicans have can to rig the rules of democracy thanks using everything to their years of work. the system is badly tilted to make it less likely that millions of americans vote are actually cast and counted. it is no coincidence that people who are targeted, the ones that are pushed away from the polls are mostly poor people, young people, minorities and others that are not helped by republicans in power. these are serious threats to democracy. you and i can change this. we can overturn citizens united.
