Mr. Speaker, less than 4 weeks ago, Congress passed the American Relief Act, which provided disaster aid to States such as Florida, South Carolina, and Oklahoma. Did Democrats demand conditions on this aid because it went to red States? No, because we are all Americans. We are all God's children. Congress has never put conditions on disaster aid because when Mother Nature strikes, she doesn't ask for your party affiliation before she hurts you. The people who were hurt in the fires in southern California were parents, children, and grandchildren who lost their homes or lost their loved ones. I am asking Republican Members of Congress to please stop using the pain and suffering of disaster victims for their own political purposes. It is not American. It is not Christian. It is not moral. ____________________
