Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Team 26 for continuing the call for commonsense gun violence prevention. This Saturday, Team 26 begins their second Ride on Washington. This courageous group of men and women will be biking 400 miles from Newtown, Connecticut, in my district, to Washington, D.C. Team 26 is made up of parents whose children attend or attended Sandy Hook Elementary School and folks who have lost loved ones to gun violence. They ride to honor the victims of gun violence from Newtown and from across the country, and they ride to urge Congress to act. Team 26 rides to bring the message of peace, hope, and love. Let's listen to Team 26 and put politics aside. Mr. Speaker, let us vote to enact meaningful gun violence prevention legislation this year. ____________________
