“I will say this: We had some very honorable Members whom I respect and, we are both members of the Committee on Armed Services, I am also a member of the Select Committee on Homeland Security, and this is serious business. We have men and women right now getting sand in their teeth over in Iraq right now based on intelligence. Right here in this well, right above the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ryan), our Commander-in-Chief shared with us information that we know now is false, or was given bad information. This is serious business. This is the reason why we have got to deal with voter suppression. This is the reason why everyone who has a voter registration card or will become eligible to get a voter registration card should make sure they let their voice be heard at the polls. I for one and the gentleman for one and the 30-something Democrats for one are not scared of American people voting. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Green Party, whatever party you are a member of, we want you to vote, because in this democracy things will happen better for our future.”
