On the recordJuly 20, 2010
Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Let me make the point that, yes, I've voted for sports resolutions, I've even cosponsored resolutions, but I came to realize what a waste of time that is. So a number of weeks ago, I took the pledge that I was no longer going to participate. But there are examples in my past, and being a freshman year, I made some mistakes. That's one of them. But I just believe that there are more important, more worthy things that this body ought to be participating in. And probably the next thing we ought to be doing is voting on some things today; so I urge my colleagues to vote against House Resolution 1513. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
