There is no constitutional impediment to passing life-saving gun laws.

I would respectfully disagree with Dr. Curry, in terms of your framing around the existential nature of this issue. I think climate change is an existential threat.

The American people understand that we need to keep firearms out of the wrong hands, and yet it is 20 years later and we at the Federal level have shamefully done nothing about this issue.

We must invest in our collective future.

I wish to pay tribute to the bravery and service of PFC Floyd K. Lindstrom, a Colorado Springs World War II veteran who has earned our Nation's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor. I also want to recognize the significance of…

Without fixing our broken system and taking power from the powerful special interests and returning it to the people of this country, it will be almost impossible to make progress on the issues that are important to the American people.

this bill will return power to the people and restore our democracy. It will help us clean up the culture of corruption in Washington and focus on making sure our government works for the people of this country.

Gerrymandering is a uniquely American phenomenon, and yet, H.R. 1 really goes a long way to prevent intentional manipulation of district lines for partisan advantage.

it is so important that we pass H.R. 1, which will repair our democracy by restoring real power to the people of this country and away from the special interests and powerful corporations.

So we want to make sure to the maximum extent possible that each American when they vote for whoever their representative is has the same opportunity to cast that vote.

Not only is ex-offender disenfranchisement wrong and anti-democratic in and of itself, many of these laws were deliberately designed and--admittedly at the time--designed to entrench white supremacy.

I want to associate myself with the remarks of Congresswoman Bass about the sort of very disappointing positions of two of our witnesses.

And so that is why H.R. 1--so much of what it is doing, frankly, is about restoring the legitimacy of government and the role of civic participation in young people's lives.

It also closes the shadow lobbying loophole and requires that those who provide legislative, political, and strategic counseling services in support of someone else's lobbying activity is also required to register under the Lobbying…

H.R. 1--so much of what it is doing, frankly, is about restoring the legitimacy of government and the role of civic participation in young people's lives.

H.R. 1 also aims to end voter intimidation, the dissemination of deceptive voting information about times and places, and other voter suppression tactics.

Restoring pre-clearance is essential to preventing the further erosion of voting rights.

I hope our witnesses today will help dispel the dangerous myth of widespread voter fraud.
