Kendrick Meek: “Thank you. Mr. Ryan, I look forward to continuing, until the clock runs out on this Congress, to continue to come down…”

“Thank you. Mr. Ryan, I look forward to continuing, until the clock runs out on this Congress, to continue to come down to the floor to share with the American people. Mr. Speaker, we can't get any higher than where we are right now as it relates to the commitment and the will and the desire to put America in a new direction. Mr. Ryan, I think with the leader coming down to the House, to this floor a few minutes before 8:00, 8 p.m. eastern standard time after a full day of legislative session, she has pretty much laid it out as relates to the Democratic plan, put this country in a new direction and have real security. Forget about the first 100 days, like a lot of politicians like to talk about; the first 100 hours of a Democratic Congress and all of the things that she identified. I am willing to yield to Mr. Ryan, and we can close out, and then we can move on from this point. I don't think that we can add any more this evening to what the leader has already said. A lot of times we can talk about what the leadership said they would do, but when you have the leader of our caucus, the leader of the House Democrats, hopefully the future Speaker of this House of Representatives, she has said on the Congressional Record, not for the first time, second time, third time or fourth time, but tonight of what we would do if given the opportunity.”
