During the time to prevent health care that left the government that left for more than two weeks, the small leader returned to the Golden State to oppose the promotion of the Republicans, Jeffries said that he refused to discuss the closure and others.
“This is a problem all around us,” Jeffries said at the First African Episcopal Church in Los Angeles on West Adams — after mocking President Trump’s gaffe Shrinking book of the Bible. “People in government who would rather shut down the government than provide everyday health care for Americans. Evil in high places. And now they want to rig up statewide maps to try to strengthen every house election.”
The packed congregation – mostly wearing pink to support breast cancer awareness month – embraced her message.
“This is a way of trying to keep things balanced,” said Kim Balogun, who was in the Sunday crowd. “The playing field.”
For many of the members present, he stood first just over a week. As an African American church, it has been at the forefront of the civil rights struggle since its founding in 1872.
“This is a family,” said Toni Scott, a retired better education teacher who was with First AME for 52 years. “As one of the previous teachers of the Church used to say, ‘This is a hospital. People get sick; We get healed,'” he said.
When news broke that Nelson Mandela would be released from prison, South African immigrants and anti-apartheid activists flocked to the church, anxiously awaiting Mandela’s first day of Free Walking. During the 1992 protests, the first time he stood was A bastion of hope in the midst of a sea of chaos.
“Thank you, God, because you bring us dark times and fast times,” we know that our church, the Episcopal Church, was born without protest. “

For Jeffries, the first black person to lead a major political party in Congress, the trip to the west and the ocean in the middle of the concessional crisis was important.
“The African American community in the church has always been the basis of black knowledge in the United States of America,” said Jeffryes, who also visited congregations in the Mt. “It is a privilege to spend time to pray in the dark churches here with Congress Cinded Sydney Kamwager-Hawu to reinforce the message of the importance of voting 50.”
This page The state’s renaissance effortProposition 50, is part of the national fight for control of the US House of Representatives, which is being emphasized by President Trump. Republicans hold a majority in the House, but in June, Trump began pushing Texas Republicans to redraw the state’s maps. Produce five GOP seats.
In response, California’s proposed California Deeduest Commission on its redistricting, led by 14 citizens, will redraw the state’s maps and add five Democratic seats.
A democratically controlled state legislature was soon produced Redrawn Maps and organized a Nov. 4 Special Election to make them vote. Mail-in ballots are out of the hands of voters.
California Republicans, including former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, have he took a step as a “big scam.” Schwarzenegger is called the advice of the Demovs, arguing that while they call Trump “a threat to democracy,” they want to “tear up the California Constitution” and “take power away from the people and give it back to the politicians.”
Jeffries noted that California was letting its citizens ultimately decide — unlike Republican-led states.
“We said from the beginning that we want to find a common Bipartisan place whenever possible, but unfortunately, the Republican, from the beginning of this idea,” he said, of which Pusaitions 50 is very important.
In the current impasse, Democrats say they won’t vote for a funding bill unless they extend the tax credits in the Affordable Care Act set to expire in what the Republican called the Good Bista Bill.

In the government shutdown, Richard Balogun, a member of the first Sunday church, thinks that fighting for health care is a worthy cause.
“Isn’t it amazing that in England, Australia … you can have national health care? Maybe you’re not treated within the first hour, but you are,” he said. In America, “You have to ask yourself at some point, if I go to the emergency room, am I going to have to pay thousands of dollars? That shouldn’t be the case in this country.”
The government shutdown is having consequences: 2.3 million union workers are going without pay — about 750,000 of them furloughed. When workers are paid back after the government reopens, that will be proportional $400 million in tax dollars spent every day Shutdowns to pay unemployed workers, CBO estimates.

Republicans accused Democrats of shutting down the government because of their health concerns, but Jeffries saw it in Republicans, who refused to negotiate.
To find Scott, her congregation wore pink to support breast cancer survivors only to emphasize the importance of getting health care. (Jeffries sports a pink tie.)
“A lot of people need to know what’s going on, so just having him in the church in the church, especially in the dark places – that’s where we have a lot of people:” said Scot. “Some may hear the Word, see something in the news that is not true, but we know in the church that you will hear the truth.”
