Barbara Boxer actually said...

We cannot wait. We cannot read another one of these stories. We cannot look at another one of these pictures.

We can't say that we can block off what's happening in the rest of the world, because a human right is a human right.

We need a sense of urgency. You're new, you're all new, but you're not new to these issues.

This must stop. And, colleagues, we must come together across all the lines that normally divide us.
