TEAM 26'S RIDE ON WASHINGTON
(Ms. ESTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. ESTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Team 26 for continuing
the call for commonsense gun violence prevention.
This Saturday, Team 26 begins their second Ride on Washington. This
courageous group of men and women will be biking 400 miles from
Newtown, Connecticut, in my district, to Washington, D.C.
Team 26 is made up of parents whose children attend or attended Sandy
Hook Elementary School and folks who have lost loved ones to gun
violence. They ride to honor the victims of gun violence from Newtown
and from across the country, and they ride to urge Congress to act.
Team 26 rides to bring the message of peace, hope, and love. Let's
listen to Team 26 and put politics aside.
Mr. Speaker, let us vote to enact meaningful gun violence prevention
legislation this year.
