                   THE DAILY 45: MIGUEL LEON-FREGOSO

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BOBBY L. RUSH

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 31, 2008

  Mr. RUSH. Madam Speaker, everyday, 45 people, on average, are fatally 
shot in the United States.
  I have another story of unnecessary violence. This time the location 
is in the city of San Diego. According to reports, 27-year-old Miguel 
Leon-Fregoso was with a group of friends at a bar early this morning 
when, upon leaving, he was involved in a verbal altercation outside. 
Minutes later a man shot Miguel in the face. Thus, in yet another 
quick, mindless instance--another young life has been taken.
  Americans of conscience must come together to stop the senseless 
death of ``The Daily 45.'' When will Americans say ``enough is enough, 
stop the killing!''
