Mr. Speaker, the majority has even withheld a vote on the matter, refusing to rule in order Mr. Kildee's amendment, the Families of Flint Act. They have no conscience. If they did, they would allow a vote. Vote ``no,'' as I have said many times on this floor. Vote ``no.'' Have the courage of your convictions, but let the democratic process work. Trust this body. As the gentleman has just said on the harbor maintenance trust fund, trust this body to make the decision together. You can't have it both ways. You either trust this body to cast their votes accordingly or you don't. You can't pick and choose because you are playing politics with the lives of children if you do. For this reason, I urge a ``no'' vote on the rule.
