ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
(Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, in my district, over the past couple of
days, a baby, 8 years old, has been shot. A baby, 5 years old, has been
shot. Other individuals have been shot and killed. And, of course, the
death and the pillage of mass murders continue, and those in Florida
are still suffering, and no gun action at all, no debate.
Additionally, young people are in the streets, their families are
fearful because the DACA fix promised by this President has not been
done.
We need to do our work, if we are Americans; we need to do it for
good for all of those who live within the confines of this Nation.
Then, finally, we had an election yesterday in Texas full of mistakes
and closed polls and nonworking machines. Yet, the President of the
United States has $120 million to safeguard our elections in 2018 and
he has done absolutely nothing.
It is a demand that we begin to look at the Russian intrusion, faulty
voting polls and machines, and begin to address the American people's
right and civil liberty of voting--one vote, one person--without the
fear and the apprehension of Russians intruding into an election in
2018 in order to skew the Federal elections.
Enough is enough. It is time for us to act.
