On the recordNovember 7, 2007
I am waiting for some true intellectually consistent conservative Members of the other party who understand that in their mantra of government staying out of people's private lives, in their mantra of allowing the marketplace to work, allowing people to be judged by their hard work, by their tenacity, by their skill, I am waiting for those people to come to the floor and say that we believe in ENDA. We believe in the idea of not government selecting who's going to win but letting the marketplace do it. We believe in our friends in the private sector, 350 or so Fortune 500 companies that already practice ENDA that we are going to be voting on today. Where are they? Where are those Members of my colleague's party that are shamed by their record on civil rights throughout the years and want to make it right now? Where are the Members of that party who are going to come forward and say, I don't want to explain to my grandkids why I was on the wrong side of another civil rights movement? Where are those Members of that party who claim to be conservative? Speak up now. This is your moment.
