“I rise to discuss this big, disgusting billionaire bailout bill. This year, I have traveled the State of New Jersey, hearing from the constituents of my three GOP colleagues. I spoke to some of the 178,000 people in Representative Van Drew's district on NJ FamilyCare who will lose their coverage; some parents of the nearly 100,000 children in Representative Smith's district who are at risk of losing their NJ FamilyCare health coverage; and some of the 11,000 seniors in Representative Kean's district who are worried about their nursing homes having to shut down. What I heard from all of those constituents in those three districts was that they are very disappointed that they were not able to communicate with their Representatives because their Representatives were hiding from them because they could not justify their support of this big, disgusting billionaire bailout. Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues from New Jersey to listen to their constituents and vote ``no.'' May God forgive those who do not do for the least among us.”
