“Mr. Speaker, if you are a Republican with misgivings about the massive debt that this bill creates or if you are worried about stripping 17 million Americans of healthcare access, I tell you that now is your moment. "A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once." That is a quote from Shakespeare. Vote your constituents. Vote your conscience. This is how you will be remembered. Better to vote your conscience today and face an angry tweet than have your legacy be one of equivocation and cowardice. "By their deeds you will know them." I urge all of my colleagues to oppose debt, death, and hunger. Oppose this cruel legislation.”
