I would like to invite the entire Texas delegation to be up here with me, and if you are a Member from a district that has had a school shooting, would you please come stand with us. Mr. Speaker, on Friday morning, at 7:30, evil reared its ugly head in a little community, what I call a salt-of-the-Earth community, Santa Fe, Texas, and 10 people tragically lost their lives. I would ask all Members to please stand. We lost two teachers on that day: Cynthia Tisdale and Glenda Ann Perkins. We lost students Kimberly Vaughan, Shana Fisher, Angelique Ramirez, Christian Riley Garcia, Jared Black, Sabika Sheikh, Christopher Jake Stone, and Aaron Kyle McLeod, lives that should have never been ended. Mr. Speaker, I would like to request a moment of silence. ____________________
