And at the end of the day, we want to make sure that everyone in America has a chance to live the American dream.

The 2.5 million young adults who can remain on their parents' insurance now thanks to the Affordable Care Act, would lose that coverage.

It doesn't much matter which one of the Republican candidates ultimately is their nominee because they're all extreme.

I think that will be part of a key to whichever candidate wins the general election, which I think will be Barack Obama.

The general election voters are not supportive of the priorities of the Tea Party.

Forty-five percent of Americans, Wolf, live in this country with a pre-existing condition.

It would return power to the insurance companies over our health care decisions and I don't think that's something that the American people are going to support.

The Republicans really need to be concerned tonight because if there was so much fervor on their side to defeat Barack Obama, they would have had a bigger turnout in their primary in 2012 than they did in 2008.

What gets me concerned is that Mitt Romney has spent this entire primary buying the election. He ran 13,000 ads versus Newt Gingrich's 200.

If I can ask my colleagues to join me at the well. Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Madam Leader, Mr. Whip, and Majority Leader. I couldn't prepare anything this morning because I knew that I would not be able to hold it together for very long…

No matter what we argue about here on this floor or in this country, that there is nothing more important than family and friendship. And that should be held on high above all else.

It is my privilege to yield 1 minute to a woman with whom I experienced one of the most emotional experiences in my life, along with our colleague from New York, Kirsten Gillibrand, when we watched Gabby Giffords open her eyes after her…

Before I yield back, I want to share one more story to really demonstrate to the entire country the heart of the young man that we are honoring here today, because even those who only occasionally came into contact with Gabe Zimmerman were…

It is my privilege to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Pastor). (Mr. PASTOR of Arizona asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

Exactly. The League of Women Voters in my State, Mr. Holt, has registered voters in Florida for seven decades and suspended their voter registration activity after this law passed because they can't take the risk. The organization would…

Thank you. Because in some States it's equally as bad. It is certainly bad enough in Texas they're not putting more funding in to make sure those people have more access to get those photo IDs. But in some States, because of the budget…

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and thank you for the opportunity for calling us together on this very important topic. I just want to close out my time very briefly by saying to the gentlemen from Texas and New Jersey that we are not…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. It's really wonderful that the gentleman from Texas has organized this opportunity to have Members come to the floor and highlight our concerns and our commitment to protect the fundamental right and the…

Thank you. In answer to the gentleman from Texas' question, what's wrong with it, is this is supposed to be a country that affords everyone-- regardless of any category that you fall into--the opportunity to vote. The voter suppression…
