“Mr. Speaker, we have been at war with Iran for 22 months. What do we have to show for it? There is no victory. There is no strategy. We still don't have an objective. In fact, the President keeps saying this war is over, but we have 50,000 troops deployed to the region. The strait is still closed. Shipping is still blockaded, and negotiations that should be about making sure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon are completely stalled out. Meanwhile, every single day, working Americans are paying the price. Gas prices have spiked. They have skyrocketed through the roof. Utility bills are going up. Because of increased shipping costs, we are seeing further increases in the price of food, clothes, toys, car parts, everything that you can imagine a family needs. There is still no end in sight, and there won't be an end in sight unless Republicans decide to work for the American people and do their job. The single fastest way to bring down costs is to end this war. Once again, Republicans are going to have an opportunity to do just that. Once again, they have a chance to bring our servicemembers home and end this chaos. Once again, they have a chance to side with working families and our troops. The American people deserve better than they are getting from the GOP. Vote ``yes.'' Show the American people you are on their side.”
