Kendrick Meek: “This is the reality of the situation. This is not fiction; it is fact. But if you can, I want you to get through that…”

This is the reality of the situation. This is not fiction; it is fact. But if you can, I want you to get through that list because I know that Mr. Delahunt and Mr. Ryan are so fired up right now as it relates to sharing this information. Mr. Speaker, this is almost not fair. I mean this is just so unfair that we have this much information to share with the Members about what they have done and what they have not done and how we are so ready to get in the game, to lead this House in the direction that every American can appreciate. Every American does not work at McDonald's, but guess what. There are a lot of Americans there and family members of Americans that punch in and punch out every day and know what it means to make the minimum wage.
