Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to thank President Joseph Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for working with those of us who have a deep abiding concern for our children. I chair the Congressional Children's Caucus, and I was delighted that we were able to provide for the summer feeding youth program that will provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner for our children in the summer when they are not on a program that is held during the school year. This is a vital program. It is a program that simply has the opportunity for our State to match and the Federal Government then matches and provides hungry children a lifeline. Mr. Speaker, I am asking publicly for the State of Texas to accept the summer feeding program and to be one of the 35 States that have already accepted this program to participate in, so that the 3 million children in the State of Texas, and the nearly 100,000 in my congressional district, and possibly 1 million in the region that I represent would have the ability to eat. Don't you want our children of Texas to eat? Let us participate in the summer feeding program. Let's do it now. ____________________”
