                         SUPPORT FOR SUSAN RICE

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FREDERICA S. WILSON

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 16, 2012

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to declare that I 
stand with Susan Rice.
  Just as I stood in line, and my constituents stood in line, for hours 
on Election Day to vote, I stand here today.
  But only stronger.
  Just as we stood for and with President Obama on November 6th, we 
stand with him today as he stands up for Susan Rice our young, gifted 
Ambassador.
  We must continue to stand for what is right in this nation Mr. 
Speaker, and that is what I have come here to do.
  Susan Rice deserves respect, not the questioning of her integrity.
  I applaud President Obama for standing for what is right and what is 
just.
  I applaud President Obama for standing in support of Ambassador Rice.
  We all need to continue to stand for truth. We need to stand for 
transparency.
  We do not need to impugn our officials over rumors, dangerous 
hearsay, or conspiracy theories.
  We must not allow the post of Ms. Rice to be politicized as it has 
been, Mr. Speaker.
  We must not allow Susan Rice to be a fall guy for the failed election 
bid of Mitt Romney and his Republican cronies.
