Laurel Lee actually said...

"I oppose this amendment, as I do not believe it is the appropriate role for the Federal Government to take in elections administration."

"I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this amendment, which is a sense of Congress to acknowledge the abhorrent language used by an elected official in Wisconsin."

"The rights protected by the First Amendment are at the core of who we are as Americans--freedom of religion, freedom of the press, our right to protest and to petition our Government."

"The restriction proposed by the amendment is a necessary step in the honest fight to ensure the integrity of our elections."
