“I don't know how my colleagues across the aisle who voted for the default on America act are going to look our veterans in the eye this Memorial Day. You have presented our country with an impossible choice: devastating cuts or devastating default, hungry families or homeless seniors, kids without classrooms or parents without jobs, empty VA clinics or empty savings accounts. Now you are sending us home with no resolution. That is the plan: to default, to run out the clock. Well, I have some good news for you. Madam Speaker, 213 Members of the Democratic Caucus have signed the discharge petition. So before you go home, it only takes five patriots to join us in the fight for the American people. Join us. Sign the petition. Stay here and fight for American families. Fight for their American security.”
