“I came down this morning, after hearing Father Conroy give his opening speech, to address this House and to address this Nation today in these hallowed Halls to send the message that today is not a day to engage in partisan politics.

Now is the time to lead with smart, targeted decisionmaking proposals that will improve their lives for the better. God bless. ____________________”
