“Let's be clear here about what is being objected to. This is a resolution that says to the million moms: Thank you for caring about our children; thank you for being good mothers; Thank you for giving up Mother's Day to be here, to stand for a cause that is bigger than each of us separately. It is hard for me to believe the Republicans would object to welcoming the million moms to this town, moms who are Democrats, Republicans, those declining to state--maybe they don't have a party. This is not a partisan issue. I say to my friend, thank you for bringing this to the floor. I think the American people are finally going to see who stands up for what is right.”
