Marsha Blackburn: “I come to the floor this morning to talk for a few minutes about the primary issue that my constituents are talking…”

“I come to the floor this morning to talk for a few minutes about the primary issue that my constituents are talking about right now, and that is the issue of national security, homeland security, and how what is happening in the world is affecting our communities right where we live and work and where our children go to school. Isn't that what everyone wants to know: that we are going to be safe, that our children are going to be safe, and that future generations are going to be safe here in the United States? Mr. Speaker, as we look at these issues of illegal immigration, as we look at ISIS and the threats that are carried out, such as what happened in Chattanooga, and as we look at the Iran deal, we know this affects where we live and where we work. Today, Mr. Speaker, I want to spend just a few minutes talking about the Iran nuclear deal. One of the members, retired, of a military organization, MOAA, came up to me Saturday as I was talking to them. He said: Marsha, this is a bad, bad deal. It is a bad, bad deal. I have got to agree with him. It is. Of course, he speaks from the perspective of having worn the uniform and served, having had a full military career. It is interesting. They know a bad deal when they see one, and in this Iran nuclear deal that is proposed, they see the tenets of a very bad deal. Let's look at a few of these components that will not serve us and future generations, our national security, or our homeland security well.…”
