“I thank so much the gentleman--my classmate and colleague--from New Jersey's 10th Congressional District. Mr. Speaker, it is, indeed, my honor to yield to Congresswoman Robin Kelly from the Second District of Illinois. We have heard that common creed that says, ``I am my brother's keeper.'' She is my sister's keeper. When I think about her work, I am always so happy because I admire her. I remember the day that she sat down when we stood up. She reminds me of what Rosa Parks did in 1955 when she decided, if she sat down, it would start a movement. Robin Kelly sat down on the House floor because she said we should do more than just stand up when someone loses his life to gun violence. So it is, indeed, a great honor for me to yield to Congresswoman Robin Kelly.”
