anybody who is 35 in massachusetts towns was a veteran. in these veterans train the young man in their town who were not veterans. they were very enthusiastic and they did train and they train seriously. why did they train so seriously? because they knew it was going to happen if they let the king have his way. one of the wonderful things about the king god bless him, was that he thought he could have his way on the cheap. in other words, he didn't have a very high regard for the farmers in massachusetts is or anyplace else. he thought that if a small number of his professionals could take care of it. if you want to subdue people to think you can do it on the che cheap, it's not going to cost you much and it will be over with quickly and everything will be happy and you can get the massachusetts land and is hard to understand that may be for 500 families alone controlled england. it wasn't even a thousand, that's what they're going to do so they trained in the number of towns that actually got involved in the fighting was 30 during the bat

and our farmers in massachusetts were the richest people in the world. our economy that had developed in massachusetts was a patchwork quilt of prosperous farms, and ordinary people could work, save enough money, buy land to become farmers themselves. it was more democratic than our society ised -- is today. and this was true throughout the colonies. each colony was different, but they were all prosperous. they were economic success stories. england itself was an economic success story, and william pitt we're so successful, why are we fighting? they love you, they want to get along with you, they want to work all of this out. the king was having none of it. now, there was an interesting thing about the farmers in massachusetts, and that is that they had fought in the french and indian war. that war that william pitt had won. and there budget a house how old -- there wasn't a household in massachusetts that hadn't participated in that war effort. these people knew how to fight. so as the problems with england developed after the seven years' war, all of w

i thank the gentleman from massachusetts. i want to draw attention to provisions of this bill which attack bedrock environmental laws and recklessly promote logging over clean water recreation and wildlife. in a district like mine where the holdings of the u.s. forest service are extensive,his bill is a critical part of helping to protect our economy, our way of life, and the way we enjoy our public lands. title 8 of the bill includes blatant attempts that undermine the endangered species act, nepa, and the roadless area conservation rule. this bill allows for congressional exemptions. basically an earmark to prevent environmental reviews and public comment periods that actually prevents communities from having a say over what happens quite literally in their back yard. i think that we need to make sure we involve our local communities. this bill empowers washington, d.c., decisionmakers, taking that control away from our own communities. it weakens the endangered species act by eliminating scientific expert opinion about whe

we have them as well in massachusetts. and they have the same right to have access to free, unfettered, as the people who live in cambridge, massachusetts, or in portland, oregon. the rural parts of every state are entitled to it. the rural business people, the farmers, they should all be able to rely on a guarantee that it's free, open, and they're not going to be discriminated against. that's why i wanted to get up and thank you for your historic leadership on this issue. you were there at the dawn of this whole era and you just continue to ensure that the internet is infused with the values that i i think our nation wants to have it reflect. mr. wyden: it's been a privilege to work with my colleague, and especially to have -- and this has been bipartisan -- make sure that the kinds of policies that can come about with real net neutrality and making sure that rural communities get a fair shake compliment other work that we're doing that represents the future. my colleague and i have talked about the fact that in our effo

that is why the supreme court of massachusetts ruled in the 1780's that there is no more slavery in massachusetts under its constitution. they demand better civic treatment, protest against indignity, and demand a place in the worldwide brotherhood of christ. the king james version they would have been familiar with, ask god is made of all blood of 17, men to dwell on the face of the earth. they take that seriously and pursue that in other realms, in the realm of freemasonry, which is another critically important project which involves the majority of black activist men in this time. in all of these ways, they are saying these are essential truths that are basic to our understanding of ourselves as americans, given by god, but not only given by god, made real by us. so an alabama slaveholder comes and testifies before the massachusetts legislature and says god will free the slaves in his own time. the legislators look around and call up lewis hayden, a leading black activist, and have him come up. hayden says yeah, that will free the slaves in his own time, but he will do so through the agency of

the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: i would suggest he read the bill when he says no benefits will be cut from snap, he is wrong. benefits will be cut. benefits will be cut to support an underfunded, unproven, ridiculous excuse for work force and training program. i would say, i hope nobody want to emulate the state of maine when it comes to people who are struggling in poverty and need food. i would instruct my colleagues to read appear article that appeared in the "washington post" last year about what harsh policies have resulted in. a veteran who served this country lost his job due to an injury and because of maine's strict work requirements was thrown off the snap benefits, became homeless and was skinning squirrels in order to provide, that isn't a policy that this state or this country want to reach toward. one of the things i am proud about the snap program, it means that we recognize that we have an obligation to make sure that nobody in this country goes hungry. why is that such a radical idea? why

massachusetts has several seats that the massachusetts delegation would claim as the massachusetts seats on the first circuit, if and when an opening should occur in those seats. but with no blue slip, how does that stay a massachusetts seat? how do we have any voice in this whatsoever if there is no blue slip. we could easily end up in a situation in which all these circuit courts of appeal have been greatly nationalized. i think there are more than justice lawyers who would happily pull up stakes and travel to another location. the distinguished presiding officer from alaska and i have had conversations about the enormous reach of the ninth circuit. that already takes quite a lot of traveling. for a lawyer to have the distinction of being able to be a united states court of appeals judge, so let's say you have to pull up stakes and move from texas to rhode island. therethere are plenty of lawyero would do that. so i just urge my colleagues, as we undo this blue slip, think about where this road ends. because a few years from now, if there is a president of a different party and there a

what about the state of massachusetts? there is not much talk of them embracing this gambling on sports. do you think they should? jason: well, just yesterday there were coming from the governor bigger and -- governor indicatinghe speaker that this is something they wanted to look at. i think massachusetts has proven itself in a number of areas to be very much a hub of technology. i think there is a real opportunity for them to take ownership of the sports technology space. hopefully with us being one of the leading faces of that to hel p sports technology companies find a home. caroline: have you built an ecosystem to a certain extent? you have a lot of talent based here. has it brought other competitors to your front door? jason: it has certainly helped. i see a lot of startups here, and our a lot of companies we work with talk about potentially opening a boston office. i think it is helped, but really it is more about policy makers being very aggressive. i think here a great example of an opportunity to do the same thin

the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: i rise to claim time in opposition to the amendment. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. mcgovern: i am not going to oppose the amendment, mr. speaker. i do want to say a few words. i am trying to understand this amendment because i really don't understand the point of it. under current law, under current law, children can still get snap even if their parents fails -- fail to comply with work requirements. that's the current law. h.r. 2, the farm bill, does nothing to change this. so i don't -- i'm unsure why this amendment has been offered. i think i would classify this amendment as covering your rear end amendment because the bottom line is there's a lot in h.r. 2 that i think does harm to children because when their parents are thrown off of snap, while they may not be thrown off of snap, the overall household allowance for food gets decreased. so there is less food for the entire family. and i would just say if the majority really cared about the

i attended parochial schools in watertown, massachusetts. my father seem like everybody else i knew was a world war ii veteran. height of the cold war. jack kennedy asked us to ask us not what country can do for us but what we can do for our country. when vietnam came up, many of us decided to forego college and carriercareers. >> did you have military in family? >> my grandfather was in the 101st infantry. which was a massachusetts national guard division he was wounded in france. my father fought on the canal with the marine corps. one of my uncles won the navy cross on iwo jima. i was afraid that the war will be over. if i didn't volunteer quickly the war will be over. i wouldn't get a chance to go fight. it ran on for ten years. i enlisted at 17. my parents had to sign me in. my dad was horrified and scared. he said you realized you can get your butt shut off. he said this is serious stuff. i was convinced i was bullet proof and nothing would happen. >> once you enlisted, where did they send you? >> i went through basic training boot cam

i was from massachusetts, so it was pretty strong there. on occasion, we would say, well, to see an indoor war too. getting hurt.s people want peace. we did not realize we would be blamed for the war. that have not appeared yet. one thing i think is one of the urban myths is that people would dare spit on you. medevaced home. this idea that someone would spit on you at the airport. you would get into a fight. i think it is kind of an urban myth. that is just one of those things i don't believe that people were spit on. maybe you were jeered. you are going to go up against the guy? i don't think so. >> anecdotally, i have heard from hundreds of guys that it happened. medevaceaside, you got d home. charlie: i was sent to chelsea naval hospital near my home in boston. then after recuperating there, i was sent over to marine corps barracks charlestown. i did not have any uniforms or anything, so i stood formation in jeans and a t-shirt with flip-flops. the commanding officer, i think nel, wentcolo crazy. he said, what are you doing looking like

charlie: i grew up in cambridge, massachusetts. i came from a large family. i have three brothers and eight sisters. inttended parochial schools watertown, massachusetts. -- it seemed like everyone else i knew was a world war ii veteran. it was the height of the cold war, and jack kennedy asked us to ask not what our country could do for us, but what we could do for our country. so when vietnam cropped up, most of us decided to -- or many of us decided to forgo college and careers, and i enlisted in the marine corps. martin: did you have a strong military history and your family, any culture? charlie: yes, my grandfather was in the 101st infantry, which was a massachusetts national guard division. he was wounded in france. my father fought in guadalcanal with the marine corps, and one of my uncles won the navy cross on iwo jima, so i was surrounded by veterans. it seemed in that age when you grew up, everybody had been to world war ii, and with a little coaxing, they would talk about it. they never glorified war, but, you know, they were proud of their servic
