Yvette Clarke said "I thank the gentlewoman from the 12th District of North Carolina, the Honorable Alma Adams, for bringing her comments to the floor. At this time, clearly across this Nation, we represent very different districts, but there is one thing that we all have in common, and that is a reverence and a real concern about the human condition; and the fact that here we are, once again, coming to the floor to plead with the leadership of this body to bring commonsense gun violence prevention laws to the people of this country. We won't stop until that occurs. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from New Jersey (Mrs. Watson Coleman), an outspoken advocate, who has done everything within her power to bring a voice to the voiceless, particularly those who are trying to come to grips with the violence that is unleashed in this Nation, and the lack of action coming from the leadership here in the House of Representatives." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
