                     HORRIBLE UNDERMINING OF RIGHTS

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, just a few minutes ago I had 
the privilege of listening to Janice Kay Bobholz, a deputy sheriff from 
Wisconsin; Courtney Johnson, a teacher from Ohio; Ryan Fagg, an 
electrician from Indiana; Lynne Radcliffe, a school support staff from 
Ohio; and Tom Guyer, a U.S. Army veteran and a parole officer from 
Ohio, all of them pleading with this Congress to intervene or to cease 
the nonsense of their Governors who are union busting and breaking the 
backs of middle class Americans.
  They all explained how the unions were eager to work with these 
States on health and pension benefits; but yet, because of special 
interests and large corporate donors and private conversations of the 
Governor of Wisconsin talking about breaking the backs of the special 
14 who are trying to stay out to help the working middle class, they 
are in trouble.
  Rather than creating jobs, rather than creating jobs as we are trying 
to do as a Democratic Caucus working on behalf of the American people, 
what we have is, frankly, a horrible undermining of rights in this 
country.
