On the recordMay 29, 2014
I am opposed to this amendment. I do, however, want to yield to the gentlelady from the great State of Florida--part of the Space Coast, and who does an extraordinary job--to speak on behalf of Legal Services. Before I do that, I want to make one point. Last year alone, Legal Services helped 41,000 veterans of the United States of America who were facing foreclosure and had other challenges related to disability claims. This notion that we should do away with access to courts for people who have worn the uniform to protect our rights, I think, is wrongheaded. I yield to the gentlelady from Florida (Ms. Castor) to speak further on this subject.
