John Bel Edwards said "this is not a complicated question. The American people have watched as these firefighters have put their lives on the line for us. They have provided all of us, all of our families, and families all over this country, with the security we need and expect. Now these firefighters have come to us, the Senate, and asked that we provide them and their families with the same kind of security American workers have all over this country. This is not a complicated question. It is a simple question. The American people have watched the heroism of these firefighters. It is time for our Senate to provide them with the same kind of security they have been providing to American families forever. I yield the floor." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
