Political Quotes

“Earlier this week, we marked the 100th day of the 117th Congress, and I rise today to reflect on some of the progress we have made in the House. In our first 100 days, we passed the Equality Act to ensure full equality under the law for our LGBT community. We removed the ratification deadline from the ERA to extend that same equality to all American women. We passed the Dream and Promise Act, giving young immigrants who call this country home a chance to build their lives here. We passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to reform our broken system of policing. We took meaningful, lifesaving action to prevent gun violence and stop further tragedies. The recent tragedies our country has endured have further highlighted the need for the Senate to take action quickly on these bills. We passed the American Rescue Plan, the most important and ambitious investment in the American people into nearly a century. This bold legislation gives us a roadmap to help us build back better and to emerge from this pandemic stronger than ever. It has helped 50 percent of Americans receive a lifesaving vaccine and put money in the pockets of people. I am so proud of all we have achieved, and I know our work is just getting started. ____________________”
