Samuel L. Jackson
The Public Record
I don't think that the sons of billionaires should have better health care than the sons and daughters of America who risk their lives for our freedom.
health care is a human right. Everyone in America deserves good, affordable health care. And we all know that that is not the case today.
The Trump Administration is in the Fifth Circuit right now arguing to take away your healthcare.
It hurts my heart that we are dealing with this, and 2020 is going to be the year of the hack, the year of oppression, and suppression.
Everyone has to be committed to exposing voter infractions, there is no fraud, but voter infractions.
Elections matter because maybe in this judiciary committee we will be able to have a hearing on H.R. 40 reparations.
The President is not asking wealthy Americans to pay more. But he is asking poor Americans to pay more for health insurance.
Did you make this decision and, if so, why? Why in the world would you choose to make a decision like this?
those trillions of dollars that is going into Republican tax cuts, if that is not utilized or replaced, we are seeing--because you are in discretionary spending, non-defense discretionary spending--you have seen dollars go down for Centers…
H.R. 1 is an important and imperative response to the threats to our democracy.
A strong democracy should not be a partisan issue. Americans must have faith in their democracy and it is up to Democrats and Republicans to restore integrity and legitimacy to our institutions.
And so we are facing right now a myriad of new forms of voter suppression through voter caging and voter purging that will require and often requires private litigation by organizations dedicated to that.
This is a terrible thing in a democracy to have a legislature meet and pass a law whose purpose is to disenfranchise a segment of the population.
This is a real challenge for our democracy, and we have to start dealing with facts.
Millions of voters and the very integrity of our democracy demands that this Congress act to restore the integrity of our elections.
It is imperative that we resist all efforts, whether from our international adversaries or from our own lawmakers at the local level, to weaken this effort.
What excuse can we have as a nation for disenfranchising over half a million voters from all of the elections I just described?
But America--when we are deciding what we need to do, moving forward, many times America has to take a look backwards and our past in this area is painful and it is ugly and it is deep.
How long will we have to still, as we sit here in 2019, continue to have to defend a person's right to cast their vote?
