Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the No Dollars to Uyghur Forced Labor Act. The Chinese Communist Party is carrying out a campaign of genocide against Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang. The evidence, documented by human rights organizations, journalists, and survivors, is overwhelming: over a million people detained, families torn apart, entire communities forced into labor in factories that feed global supply chains. Some of those goods end up right here in the United States on our shelves and in our homes. The No Dollars to Uyghur Forced Labor Act makes one principle clear: Not a single American taxpayer dollar should be used to purchase goods, raw materials, or services tainted by Uyghur forced labor. It ensures that Federal contracts, programs, and policies only go to companies that can certify their supply chains are free from this abuse. American consumers should not be complicit in human rights violations. American businesses should not profit from forced labor, and our government, our tax dollars, must never enable oppression. Mr. Speaker, I urge strong support, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
