On the recordJune 17, 2021

We, who are honored to be Members of Congress, are here to pass judgment on the great issues of our time. There is no greater issue of our time than the issue of war and peace. It is about life and death. We should not be allowed to escape our duty, responsibility, and obligation to vote on issues of war and peace.
