ADAM PUTNAM said "We do not have any additional speakers, Mr. Speaker. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Washington has 30 seconds. Mr. McDERMOTT. He says a whole lot, but he has no one else to speak, Mr. Speaker, because they want the people to believe that this is a fight between Democrats and Republicans. But it is not true. In reality, Republican Governors oppose these child support cuts, including Governor Schwarzenegger of California. Republicans in the Senate oppose these cuts including Senator Cornyn of Texas. Religious organizations oppose these cuts, including the Conference of Catholic Bishops. All program administrators and poverty experts oppose these cuts. Cutting child support payments to needy families is a policy supported only by the extreme right wing which currently is running the House of Representatives. I urge the Members to vote ``no'' on this motion." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
