``GREAT YEAR FOR REPUBLICANS''
(Ms. TITUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. TITUS. This week, a leading Nevada Republican said that the 2014
elections will be a ``great year for Republicans'' because a lot of
minorities and a lot of younger people will not turn out. Well, while
the GOP plan for 2014 is focused on voter suppression, I'm here to
deliver a different message:
Minorities and women are going to be turning out in droves next year
because they see what the Republican leadership is doing in Washington.
They see the dysfunction the Republicans have created and are
apparently so proud of. They see the Republican agenda that's driven by
an extremist ideology rather than what's best for Americans.
In fact, voters of all types are seeing--and will see over the next
few days--just how out of step their House Republicans truly are. They
grapple not with the needs of Americans, but with the two wings of
their own caucus: the far right and the further right.
We need a new agenda.
