IT IS TIME FOR CONGRESS TO STAND UP AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE IN SCHOOLS
(Ms. SHEA-PORTER asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Ms. SHEA-PORTER. Mr. Speaker, today we stood up again for a moment of
silence because there was violence in schools, and we know this has
happened repeatedly since Newtown.
These families are waiting for us to do something. They are waiting
for Congress to do something. They don't want us to keep standing up
for a moment of silence. They want us to stand up for a vote.
I call on Speaker Boehner to bring some legislation to the floor. We
have legislation, good legislation that can help prevent some of this
terrible tragedy. So let's work together and start addressing this
terrible program that is impacting so many people in our country.
