Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. I urge my colleagues today to support H.R. 3659. Once again, I want to thank and commend my colleague, Congressman Max Rose, for his incredible leadership. He has taken tragedy and turned it into action. Our colleagues are absolutely right that this deserves the full attention of our government, and it is why we are taking this to the highest level of our government, to combat bullying. This bill honors the life of Danny Fitzpatrick, and it recognizes what so many families are working to prevent, what so many families and communities across this country never want to see happen. It will help end bullying. It will protect students across this country, and I look forward to seeing this bill become law. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentlewoman from Michigan (Ms. Stevens) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 3659, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________”
