YOU KNOW I WAS READING THROUGH
SOME INSPIRATIONAL IDEAS WHEN I
RAN ACROSS THE WORDS OF RABBI
HAROLD KUSHNER.
ANY OF THE BOOK CALLED.
WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN? TO GOOD
PEOPLE.
IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS THE
QUESTION OF WHY BAD THINGS
HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE.
TRANSLATED SELF INTO SOME VERY
DIFFERENT QUESTION.
NO LONGER ASKING WHY SOMETHING
HAPPENED BUT ASKING.
HOW WE WILL RESPOND WHAT WE
INTEND TO DO NOW THAT IT DOES
HAPPEN?
ARE YOU CAPABLE.
A FORGIVING AND ACCEPTING IN
LOVE A WORLD WHICH HAS
DISAPPOINTED YOU BY NOT BEING
PERFECT.
A WORLD IN WHICH THERE IS SO
MUCH UNFAIRNESS CRUELTY DISEASE
CRIME AND EARTHQUAKES.
CAN YOU FORGIVE ITS
IMPERFECTIONS AND LOVE IT
BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY WORLD
[inaudible]
WE HAVE.
ARE YOU CAPABLE OF FORGIVING AND
LOVING PEOPLE AROUND YOU EVEN IF
THEY HURT YOU AND LET YOU DOWN
BY NOT BING PERFECT.
CAN YOU FORGIVE THEM AND LOVE
THEM BECAUSE THERE AREN'T MANY
PERFECT PEOPLE AROUND.
AND BECAUSE THE PENALTY FOR NOT
BEING ABLE TO LOVE HIM PERFECT
PEOPLE.
IS CONDEMNING ONESELF THE
LONELINESS.
ARE YOU CAPABLE OF FORGIVING A
LOVING GOD EVEN WHEN YOU FOUND
OUT THAT HE IS NOT PERFECT EVEN
WHEN HE IS LET YOU DOWN AND
DISAPPOINTED YOU.
ARE PERMITTING BAD LOOK FITNESS
AND CRUELTY IN HIS WORLD.
AND PERMITTING SOME OF THOSE
THINGS TO HAPPEN TO YOU.
CAN YOU LEARNED ELEVEN FORGET
HIM DESPITE HIS LIMITATIONS AS
JOE DOES.
AND DID YOU WANT TO LEARN TO
FORGIVE AND LOVE YOUR PARENTS.
EVEN THOUGH NOT AS WISE AS
STRONG OR AS PERFECT AS YOU
NEEDED THEM TO BE.
MEMBERS IF YOU CAN DO THESE
THINGS.
WILL YOU BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE
THAT THE ABILITY TO FORGIVE.
AND THE ABILITY TO LOVE OUR
WEAPONS GOD HAS GIVEN US BETTER
LABEL US TO LIVE FULLY.
BRAVELY AND MEANINGFULLY IN THIS
LESS THAN PERFECT WORLD.

A MAN.
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

THE FLOOR IS YOURS THANK YOU
MADAM PRESIDENT GOOD AFTERNOON
MEMBERS AS THE CHAIR OF THE
LEGISLATIVE WOMEN'S CAUCUS I
RISE TODAY TO PRESENT S. R.
FORTY THREE WHICH RECOGNIZES
JUNE FOURTH.
TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN AS THE ONE
HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF
CONGRESS PASSING THE NINETEENTH
AMENDMENTAS MANY OF YOU KNOW
THE NINETEENTH AMENDMENT TO THE
U. S. CONSTITUTION WAS RATIFIED
RATIFIED BY THIRTY SIX STATES.
IN NINETEEN TWENTY AND GRANTED
WOMEN THE RIGHT TO VOTE FOR OVER
SEVENTY YEARS WOMEN BATTLED FOR
SUFFRAGE AND SINCE THEN WOMEN
HAD CONTINUED THE FIGHT FOR
GENDER EQUALITY.
THESE COURAGEOUS WOMEN FOUGHT
FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND IN THE
PROCESS FURTHER SOLIDIFIED THE
IMPORTANT MOVEMENT THAT
CONTINUES TODAY.
WHILE OTHER ETHNICITIES AND
RACES DIDN'T GAIN FULL VOTING
RIGHTS UNTIL DECADES LATER THE
NINETEENTH AMENDMENT WAS A CLEAR
STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
OVER A CENTURY AGO U. S.
SUFFRAGES CAREFULLY CHOSE THE
COLORS TO REPRESENT THEIR
MOVEMENT PURPLE WHITE.
AND GOLD THE COLORS WERE
TARGETED TOWARDS NEWSPAPERS THAT
IN THE DAY PRINTED IN BLACK AND
WHITE BUT ALSO SPECIFICALLY
CHOSE WHITE TO APPEAR NON
THREATENING AND MAKE IT HARDER.
FOR PEOPLE TO CRITICIZE THEIR
APPEARANCE TODAY WOMEN AROUND
THE COUNTRY CONTINUE TO WEAR
WHITE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT WE
MUST CONTINUE TO BUILD ON
WOMEN'S SUCCESSES.
AND ACHIEVEMENTS AND THAT OUR
WORK IS CERTAINLY NOT COMPLETE
AS AMERICANS WE HAVE THE POWER
TO CREATE CHANGE AND DEMAND THE
QUALITY NOT JUST FOR US NOW BUT
NOW.
BUT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS I
ASKED THAT WE THINK AND WE HONOR
THE WOMEN WHO FOUGHT FOR THESE
RIGHTS THAT WE HAVE SECURED AN
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OUR FIGHT
CONTINUES MEMBERS I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE.
IS THE ANY IS THERE ANY
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE SENATOR
CHIANG.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.
TODAY I STAND AS THE ONLY FEMALE
ASIAN AMERICAN LAWMAKER IN THE
ENTIRE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE.
IT IS A PROFOUND FEELING.
IF I WAS BORN IN ANOTHER TIME I
WOULD NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
I WOULD NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO
HAVE INFLUENCE OVER WHO
REPRESENTS ME IN THIS VERY
INSTITUTION.
AND TODAY I STAND BEFORE YOU AS
ONE REPRESENTING NEARLY A
MILLION PEOPLE FROM MY COMMUNITY
AND REASON OF CALIFORNIA.
I'D LIKE TO THINK THE CHAIR OF
THE LEGISLATIVE WOMEN'S CAUCUS
FOR BRING THIS RESOLUTION TO US.
THE HELP REMIND ALL OF US THAT
WHILE WE HAVE WORK TO DO ON THE
QUALITY.
WE HAVE MADE SO MUCH PROGRESS
AND WE SHOULD NOT FORGET HOW FAR
WE HAVE COME.
AND AS A CO AUTHOR OF THIS
RESOLUTION I STRONGLY URGE AN
AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU.
SENATOR DRAWS A THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR.
IT TOOK DECADES AFTER THE
PASSAGE OF THE NINETEENTH
AMENDMENT. TO MAKE VOTING A
REALITY FOR MANY WOMEN IN OUR
COUNTRY.
STILL TODAY WOMEN OF COLOR FACE
BARRIERS AN EXERCISE IN THIS
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE
ACKNOWLEDGE THIS FACT REMEMBER
AND HONOR WOMEN OF COLOR WHO LED
THE FIGHT FOR SUFFRAGE.
SO JOURNAL TRUTH AND ACTIVISTS
AN ABOLITIONIST FOUGHT BRAVELY
THROUGHOUT HER LIFE FREE QUALITY.
SHE DELIVERED HER POWERFUL AIN'T
I A WOMAN SPEECH AT THE EIGHTEEN
FIFTY ONE WOMEN'S RIGHTS
CONVENTION IN OHIO AFTER FACING
EXCLUSION FROM MANY IN THE
MOVEMENT.
THE INFLUENCE OF IDA B. WELLS
INSPIRED MANY WOMEN TO ACTIVISM.
AND STILL RESONATES TODAY.
BORN INTO SLAVERY HE WAS A
GIFTED JOURNALIST AN ORGANIZER
WHO WORKED TIRELESSLY IN THE
ANTI LYNCHING EFFORTS.
DESPITE GREAT RISK TO HER OWN
LIFE.
HER DEVOTION TO JUSTICE AND
DEMOCRACY CULMINATED HER
TRANSFER ME TRANSFORMATIVE ROLE
IN THE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT AND THE
ULTIMATE SUCCESS OF THE
NINETEENTH AMENDMENT.
LET US NEVER FORGET THE
IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTIONS OF THESE
COURAGEOUS WOMEN OF COLOR NGUYEN
SPIRED US TODAY TO SPEAK TRUTH
ABOUT EQUALITY I RISE AND THANK
THE AUTHOR -- IN SUPPORT OF THIS
RESOLUTION [inaudible]
SENATOR JACKSON'S.
IT'S THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT
MADAM PRESIDENT IT'S SLICE IT
ALWAYS HAS A NICE RING TO IT
MADAM PRO TEM ALSO HAS A NICE
RING TO IT -- THIS WAS A LONG
HARD FOUGHT BATTLE.
IT TOOK DECADES FOR THE
NINETEENTH AMENDMENT TO BE
PASSED IT TOOK WOMEN WHO WERE
WILLING TO BE FORCE FED.
WHEN THEY WERE IMPRISONED?
IN ORDER TO MAKE A STATEMENT AND
IT COST MANY OF THEM THEIR
HEALTH IN SHORT IN THEIR LIVES
BUT IT IS SO CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT IN A SOCIETY THAT
CLAIMS TO BE ONE THAT CELEBRATE
TO QUALITY.
IT CELEBRATES EQUAL RIGHTS FOR
ALL THAT WE'VE HAD THIS BATTLE
BUT THIS BATTLE IS ONLY JUST
BEGUN AS WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE
PAST SEVERAL WEEKS.
THE EFFORT TO DENY WOMEN THERE
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY IN LIFE BY
CONTROLLING THEIR OWN BODIES IS
SOMETHING THAT CONTINUES TO BE A
CHALLENGE FOR US.
THE FACT THAT WOMEN ARE STILL
NOT PAID EQUALLY FOR
SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR WORK
WHETHER IT'S WOMEN OF COLOR OR
JUST WOMEN.
OVERALL IN OUR SOCIETY WE HAVE
NOT BEEN GIVEN THAT EQUALITY OF
OPPORTUNITY THAT IS OUR
BIRTHRIGHT THAT THE NINETEENTH
AMENDMENT REAFFIRMED WE ALSO
FIND OURSELVES THE VICTIMS OF
SEXUAL HARASSMENT.
IN THE WORKPLACE SEXUAL ASSAULT
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
WE ARE A LONG WAY AWAY FROM THE
QUALITY BUT THE NINETEENTH
AMENDMENT BY THOSE THOUSANDS OF
WOMEN'S UPON WHOSE WHOSE
SHOULDERS WE NOW STAND.
DESERVE TO BE HONORED TODAY FOR
THEIR EFFORT THEIR DETERMINATION
AND THEIR PERSISTENCE AND WITH
THAT I RISE ALSO TO CELEBRATE
THE NINETEENTH AMENDMENT
RECOGNIZING THAT WE STILL HAVE
AN EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT THAT
WE NEED TO PASS.
AND EQUALITY IS STILL SOMETHING
THAT IS NOT QUITE WITHIN OUR
GRASP BUT WE GET CLOSER AND
CLOSER EVERY DAY WITH THE KIND
OF DETERMINATION THAT ALLOWS ME
TO SAY.
MADAM PRESIDENT I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE [inaudible]
SENATOR RUBIO.
THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH
MADAM PRESIDENT TODAY I ALSO
RISE IN SUPPORT OF AS FAR FORTY
THREE AND I WISH TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUE FROM TINA ALL.
OF FOR INTRODUCING THIS VERY
IMPORTANT PIECE OF RESOLUTIONS
THE NINETEENTH AMENDMENT TO THE
UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION WHICH
GUARANTEES WOMEN THE RIGHT TO
VOTE AND IT'S A FUNDAMENTAL
PIECE OF OUR HISTORY AS WE MOVE
FORWARD TOWARDS EQUALITY IN THIS
COUNTRY.
AS SUSAN B. ANTHONY ONCE THATTHIRD THERE NEVER WILL BE
COMPLETE EQUALITY UNTIL WOMEN
THEMSELVES.
CAN HELP MAKE LOSS AND A LACK
LAWMAKERS SOME VERY PROUD TO
STAND HERE ON THIS FLOOR AS I
LOOK AROUND TO SEE ALL MY FEMALE
COLLEAGUES WEARING WHITE.
AND PAYING TRIBUTE TO THOSE THAT
CAME BEFORE US SO TODAY I WOULD
LIKE TO ALSO TAKE A MOMENT TO
HONOR.
ALL ROSE AND WHICH AS WE KNOW
WAS THE FIRST -- ELECTED SENATOR
IN NINETEEN SEVENTY SIX AND I
WOULD ALSO LIKE TO PAY TRIBUTE
TO OUR PRO TEN OUR FIRST FEMALE.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO PAY TRIBUTE
TO ALLOW ANY CALLING KNOCK IS
OUR FIRST LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
AND THERE WILL BE MANY MANY
FIRST BUT FOR NOW.
I WANT TO THANK THESE.
TREMENDOUS LEADERS FOR FOR
BREAKING THE GLASS CEILING AND
ALLOWING US TO FOLLOW THANK YOU
VERY MUCH TO WITH THAT I ASKED
FOR AN AYE VOTE.
MADAM PRO TEM ATKINS.
MADAM PRESIDENT THANK YOU SO
MUCH I STAND AS A VERY PROUD
MEMBER OF THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATIVE WOMEN'S CAUCUS.
AND CO AUTHOR OF THIS MEASURE --
AND OF COURSE I RISE IN STRONG
SUPPORT YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN SAID
THAT AS CALIFORNIA GOES SO GOES
THE REST OF THE NATION.
THE SENTIMENT APPLIES PERFECTLY
TO THE PASSAGE OF THE NATION'S
NINETEENTH AMENDMENT TO THE
UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.
IN CALIFORNIA WE LET IN WOMEN'S
SUFFRAGE BY GRANTING GRANTING I
MIGHT SAY WE WE USE THAT PHRASE
A LOT GRANTING.
GRANTING WOMEN THE RIGHT TO VOTE
IN NINETEEN ELEVEN NEARLY A
DECADE EARLIER THAN THE FEDERAL
RECOGNITION.
AGAIN IT JUST SOUNDS RIDICULOUS
I APPRECIATE MY COLLEAGUE FROM
SANTA BARBARA TALKING ABOUT THE
EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT.
I WAS A COLLEGE STUDENT WORKING
VERY HARD IN MY HOME STATE OF
VIRGINIA TO GET THAT PASSED.
IT SEEMS ILLOGICAL.
THAT THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT
IS SO CONTROVERSY ALL.
WE PROVIDE SO MANY -- EXAMPLES
OF INCREDIBLE LEADERSHIP AND YET
STILL.
THAT IS CONTROVERSY WILL -- BUT
I WOULD SAY WELL WE CELEBRATE
THE AMENDMENT AND I APPRECIATE
THE RECOGNITION THAT WE'VE GIVEN
TO WOMEN.
WHO WITH THE SUPPORT OF PEOPLE
HERE HAVE RISEN TO POWERS OF
LEADERSHIP RECOGNIZE OUR OWN
SECRETARY OF THE SENATE -- WHO
WAS RIGHTLY RECOGNIZED IN HER --
WORDS THAT DAY ARE STILL -- AS
FILLED WITH THE IDEALS OF WHAT
IT MEANS FOR US TO BE IN THIS
CHAMBER ON THIS VERY CARPET AS
WOMEN -- I JUST I THOUGHT IT WAS
AN INCREDIBLE MOMENT AND WANTED
TO RECOGNIZE.
THAT AS WELL SO WHILE WE
CELEBRATE THE NINETEENTH
AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES
CONSTITUTION I THINK WE NEED TO
KEEP IN MIND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF
OUR WORK IN SETTING STANDARDS
FOR THE NATION TO FOLLOW.
NOT MOVE BACKWARDS ON MOVE
FORWARD OUR WORK TAKES ON
SPECIAL MEANING THESE DAYS IN
PARTICULAR AS OUR SISTERS
THROUGHOUT THE NATION FIGHT TO
PRESERVE THEIR VERY RIGHT TO
CONTROL THEIR OWN BODIES.
AND FUTURES AGAINST ONGOING
ATTACKS AT EVERY LEVEL OF
GOVERNMENT.
SO PLEASE JOIN ME AND MY
COLLEAGUES WHO'VE ALREADY SPOKEN

COMMEMORATE THE HUNDREDTH
ANNIVERSARY OF CONGRESS PASSING
THE NINETEENTH AMENDMENT I ASK
FOR YOUR EYES OUT [inaudible]

THE ODDITY OF HAVING TO
RECOGNIZE A RIGHT THAT SHOULD
HAVE BEEN.
INALIENABLE AND NOT REQUIRE.

TO THIS BODY TO RECOGNIZE THAT
THERE ARE ONLY TWENTY SEVEN
WORDS IN THIS AMENDMENT.
THAT IS WE DEBATE ON THIS FLOOR
OFTEN ISSUES A BIG PRINCIPLE AND
BIG BILLS THAT ARE FULL OF A
NUMBER OF PAGES.
THAT SOMETIMES IT ONLY TAKES A
FEW WORDS THOUGHTFUL WORDS TO

HISTORY IN THE APPROPRIATE
DIRECTION I ASKED FOR AN AYE
VOTE.

JACKSON MENTION WHEN YOU HEAR
THOSE WORDS.
YOU HAVE CANCER.
YOUR HEART DOES STOP.
AND FOR ME IN MY SITUATION I WAS
THIRTY ONE YEARS OLD.
MY THIRD SON OUR THIRD CHILD MY
SECOND SON -- WAS SIX MONTHS OLD.
AND I STILL REMEMBER THAT DAY.
CLEARLY AT OF ANY DAY OF MY LIFE
CLEAR AS A BELL.
THAT DECEMBER AFTERNOON.
IREMEMBER THE CAR I WAS SITTING
IN.
I REMEMBER THE RAIN FALLING ON
THE WINDSHIELD.
I REMEMBER -- WONDERING HOW MY
GONNA TELL MY WIFE.
THAT -- THE SOLE BREAD WINNER OF
THE HOME [inaudible]
HAS CANCER.
AND FOR ME FORTUNATELY I HAD ONE
OF THE EASIEST CANCERS TO
OVERCOME.
BUT NOT EVERYBODY WHO HEARS
THOSE THREE WORDS.
IS IN -- FORTUNATE SITUATIONS I
WAS -- BUT I AM THANKFUL FOR ALL
OF THE CANCER RESEARCH THAT HAD
HAPPENED PRIOR. TO MY A
DIAGNOSIS.
AND ALL OF THE RESEARCH THAT HAS
HAPPENED SINCE MY DIAGNOSIS.
AND IT DOES GIVE YOU A HEART AND
A EMPATHY.
NOT JUST FOR CANCER ILLNESS BUT
FOR ANY ON THIS I THINK.
THAT -- SOMEBODY MIGHT BE
STRUGGLING WITH.
AND SO I THINK THE AUTHOR FOR
BRINGING THIS BILL THIS
RESOLUTION FORWARD.
AND I WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORTED
AND ASKED -- FOR THAT WE'D ALL
SUPPORTED THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU SENATOR JOHN SENATOR
PAN.
I THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT
SENATORS -- I TO RISE IN STRONG
SUPPORT THE BILL AND I'VE MADE
IT IS HARD TO FOLLOW THE
ELOQUENCE MY GOOD FRIEND FROM
SANTA BARBARA AND SHARING HER
OWN EXPERIENCES AND ALSO -- MILD
A COLLEAGUE AS WELL -- AND RIGHT
NOW I MYSELF HAVE NEVER HAD
CANCER -- BUT I'VE HAD FAMILY
MEMBERS WHO HAVE -- WHO'VE
PASSED AWAY FROM CANCER.
I SHOULD NOTE THAT THERE ARE
OVER FIFTEEN MILLION PEOPLE WHO
LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES OR
CANCER SURVIVORS -- THE ODDS OF
ANYONE OF US GETTING CANCERS
ABOUT 38% -- SOMETIME IN OUR
LIFETIME.
AND OFTENTIMES CERTAINLY IS I
THINK WAS ELOQUENTLY SHARED --
THE DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER
CERTAINLY.
FOCUSES ONE'S MIND IN A CERTAIN
WAY AND BUT ALSO ONE OF THE
REASON I'M HERE -- WHAT SPEAK UP
WAS THE ALSO SAY IS THAT WHILE
CERTAINLY WE TALK ABOUT PEOPLE
WHO?
WHEN THEY GET THE DIAGNOSE
CANCER BEING TREATED WITH CANCER
WE RECOGNIZE THE THE CHALLENGES
THEY FACE IN THE FACT OUR
INVESTMENTS IN?
IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE
IN -- INVESTMENTS AND BIOMEDICAL
RESEARCH HAVE EXTENDED OUR
ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE MORE
CANCER SURVIVORS.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO
TO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN BUT
ALSO A MAKE NOTE THAT.
WE CAN'T SAY THAT ONCE YOUR
CANCER SURVIVOR THAT THERE ARE
CONTINUING ON GOING NEEDS -- ON
GOING -- OUR ISSUES THE CONTINUE
TO DEAL WITH WHAT THE OF CANCER
AS A CHILD OR AS AN ADULT -- WE
TALK ABOUT PRE EXISTING
CONDITIONS RIGHT IF YOU HAD
CANCERS THAT CANCER IS NOT WHAT
IS DISEASES WHERE IT'S LIKE OH
WELL YOU KNOW JUST HERE AND IT'S
GONE RIGHT IT.
IT'S SORT OF LINGERS AND WHAT
AND WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO
MEAN IS IS YOU GO ON YOUR LIFE
EVEN WHEN IT SEEMS TO HAVE GONE
AWAY.
AND SO I THINK THAT CERTAINLY I
THINK THE CHALLENGE.
HERE TODAY FOR ALL OF US IS IS
THAT AS RECOGNIZE THIS
RESOLUTION AND CANCER SURVIVOR
DAY IS THAT THE THINK ABOUT THE
CANCER SURVIVORS AND THAT.
THE SURVIVORS THEY STILL NEED.
PEOPLE STILL NEED HELP AND WE
NEED TO BE HERE SUPPORT THEM AS
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND WE
NEED TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE
KIND OF ASSISTANCE -- TO OUR
FELLOW CALIFORNIANS BECAUSE IT
SAID. 38% OF US WILL EVENTUALLY
HAVE TO FACE THAT DIAGNOSIS
HOPEFULLY MANY OF US WILL MAKE
THROUGH IT.
BUT WE WILL STILL PERHAPS STILL
NEED HELP BEYOND -- THAT
DIAGNOSIS AND INITIAL TREATMENT
SO I URGE A SUPPORT AND I THINK
AGAIN MY GOOD FRIEND FROM SANTA
BARBARA FOR BRING THIS UP PUT
RESOLUTION.
FOR SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION
OR DEBATE SENATOR JACKSON YOU
MAY CONCLUDE YES THANK YOU FOR
YOUR ATTENTION AND TO TRULY WE
WILL SEE WE ALL HAVE FAMILY
MEMBERS.
WHO HAVE SUFFERED THROUGH A
CANCER DIAGNOSIS WE NEED TO DO
MORE BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE ARE
SURVIVING AND AS OUR POSITION
FROM SACRAMENTO POINTED OUT
THOSE NEEDS?
CONTINUE AND SO WE CELEBRATE
TODAY.
SURVIVORS BUT THIS IS ALSO A
CALL TO ACTION WE NEED TO
CONTINUE TO FIND MORE RESOURCES
WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND.
THOSE ARE TREATMENTS FOR ALL
PEOPLE WHO MEET OR WHO.
FIND THEMSELVES HAVING TO MEET
THIS CHALLENGE WE NEED TO HAVE
MORE SURVIVOR FRIENDLY
LEGISLATION TO IMPROVE THE
QUALITY OF LIFE FOR CANCER
SURVIVORS.

THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT AND
COLLEAGUES TODAY I RISE TO CHURN
IN THE MEMORY OF DOCTOR LISA
NIGHT.
WHO PASSED AWAY PEACEFULLY ON
MAY TENTH AT HER HOME IN NORTH
HOLLYWOOD?
DOCTOR KNIGHT WAS SIXTY ONE
YEARS OLD AND SERVED IN THE
CARDIOVASCULAR NURSING CENTER AT
UCLA MEDICAL CENTER FOR THIRTY
FIVE YEARS.
AS A NURSE COORDINATOR FOR THE
PEDIATRIC ELECTRO PHYSIOLOGY
SERVICES LEASE TO WORK ON
PAEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGISTS DOCTOR
KEVIN SHANNON. ONE DAY DOCTOR
SHANNON CAME UP OF IDEA.
A CAMP IN CALIFORNIA FOR
CHILDREN OF HEART DISEASE.
LEASES RESPONSE.
WE CAN DO THAT.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE DID.
SO IN NINETEEN NINETY FIVE THE
DREAM OF HELPING CHILDREN HEART
DISEASE BECAME A REALITY.
AND CAMP DEL CORAZON WAS BORN.
ON THE ISLAND OF CATALINA. FOR
THE PAST TWENTY FOUR YEARS LEASE
AND DOCTOR SHANNON HAVE BEEN
PROVIDING A FREE MEDICALLY
SUPERVISED RESIDENTIAL SUMMER
CAMP. FOR CHILDREN LIVING WITH
HEART DISEASE.
MANY OF THE KIDS AT HEART
TRANSPLANTS IT WAS NICE TO BE
ABLE TO GO SOME PLACE WHERE
PEOPLE WOULD SEE A SCAR.
ON THEIR CHEST AND REALIZE THAT
THERE WERE NO DIFFERENT THAN.
THOSE THAT WERE THERE TO HAVE
SOME TIME OF FUN -- WITH KIDS
THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH SOME OF
THE EXPERIENCES THAT THEY HAD
BEEN THROUGH.
CAMP -- CORAZON IS GROUND TO BE
A YEAR ROUND RESOURCE FOR
SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN YOUNG
ADULTS AND FAMILIES AFFECTED BY
HEART CONDITIONS.
JUST IN TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN
ALONE THE CAMP PROVIDED SUPPORT
FOR OVER SEVEN HUNDRED PEOPLE
INCLUDING THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY
SIX CHILDREN.
WHO ATTENDED THE CAMP?
LISA NIGHTS CAMP WAS NAMED XENA
WHO IS A WARRIOR GODDESS AND
GREEK MYTHOLOGY.
AGREED.
SB THAT NAME FIT HER PERFECTLY.
XENA BATTLED HER CANCER FOR MANY
YEARS AND SHE GAVE US HOPE THAT
SHE WOULD DEFEATED.
ALTHOUGH SHE LOST THIS BATTLE
HER LEGACY IT CAN'T BILL CORAZON
WERE FOR EVER LIVE.
ON AND BE FELT BY CHILDREN IN
FAMILIES FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
OUR PATHS CROSSED BECAUSE WE
USED TO HAVE FUND RAISERS AND
TEMECULA -- HAD A VERY -- DEAR
FRIEND -- WHOSE DAUGHTER DOBBY --
HAD OPEN HEART SURGERY AND
UNFORTUNATELY.
THE COMBAT A VERY YOUNG AGE AND
IN HONOR OF HER DAUGHTER BOBBI --
SHE GOT INVOLVED WITH THIS CAMP
TO MAKE SURE THAT.
IF THERE WAS A PERSON WHO HAD
CARDIO VASCULAR DISEASE HAD OPEN
HEART SURGERY AND WANTED TO GO
TO THIS EXPENSE OF CAMPING
IMAGINE THESE CAMPS ARE STAFFED
BY DOCTORS AND NURSES AND
VOLUNTEERS.
IT WASN'T SHEAND SHE WANTED TO
MAKE SURE ALONG WITH DOCTOR
NIGHT THAT EVERY KID HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THIS CAMP
WHERE THEY CAN AFFORD IT.
OR THEY COULDN'T AFFORD IT.
SO THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO
ADJOURN.
