Hank Johnson

What you have accomplished is indeed maybe not the same American Dream that others have fulfilled, but certainly you are living what has to be an American Dream.

I will note the vast array of ethnicities out there in the crowd. It is really heartening for me coming from Georgia, where we almost elected Stacey Abrams for governor, I might add.

the Census is an issue that I know our colleagues are going to address in the state legislature

I too want to commend you.

Mr. Dean, relatively early on in the Nixon coverup, you told the President that there was a cancer on the Presidency, and then you came forward and blew the lid off of the whole coverup.

I thank the bold and courageous women of the House of Representatives with the Democratic Party for their strong hearts, minds, and leadership in pressing the action for passage of H.R. 6, which will help millions of people--men, women…

The Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal Act of 2019, H.R. 1423 (and S. 610 in the Senate), would give this choice to every American employee and consumer.

Corporations and employers love forced arbitration because most of the time, they win.

The issue of forced pre-dispute arbitration is very important to me, and it is a battle I have been fighting a long time.

I would always prefer to enforce my rights in a court of law, with a neutral judge, a jury of my peers, full and fair discovery, and a right to appeal.

The corporate lawyers are charging $950 an hour these days, and then the corporation that is paying them, like the NRA, gets a chance to write off the expense of paying the lawyer, who is a member of the same country club that they are.

I thank Chairman Cicilline and Representative Hank Johnson for introducing the FAIR Act.

The Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Program stands as a shining example of the public safety collaboration between Congress and local governments to improve public safety and protect the officers who protect us. In the 20 years that the…

How much time is remaining for both sides? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Johnson) has 6\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Collins) has 6\1/2\ minutes remaining.

This could not be a more solemn moment than what my friend from Georgia just expressed to the Nation about our State and local law enforcement personnel, male, female, Black, White, Latino, Asian, this legislation is an effort to protect…

President Trump's Department of Justice letter seeking the invalidation of the entire Affordable Care Act by the Fifth Circuit is nothing short of self-sabotage. The Trump position in Texas v. United States would deny coverage for those…

Super-protections should ensure that no one can be discriminated against in their housing, their employment, and their public accommodations.

Airports are essential to our national infrastructure. They boast a national economic impact of $1.4 trillion, and contribute roughly 7 percent of the U.S. GDP.

This amendment is well intentioned but riddled with inconsistencies that render it ineffective and unnecessary. Although judges should be held to high ethical standards, it is a false equivalence to claim that Members of Congress and…

It amuses me when my friends on the other side cause the public to believe that there are people coming across our border, trying to sneak in, when the truth of the matter is the people who are presenting themselves at our southern border…

I am glad that the other side acknowledges that the people approaching our southern border are not men from Mexico, but they are families with children fleeing violence in Central America. That is an important distinction. Mr. Speaker, I…

President Trump's decision to declare a national emergency at the southern border to siphon funds for his border wall is an unconstitutional, grotesque abuse of power. An emergency declaration is not a last-ditch maneuver to employ when…

The American people should know that there are not any statutes that would allow a President to declare an emergency to build a border wall, not one piece of legislation would allow that. Previous Presidents have declared emergencies, but…

May I inquire how much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Georgia has 9 minutes remaining, and the gentleman from Missouri has 5\1/4\ minutes remaining.

I am proud to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the distinguished majority leader of this House of Representatives.
