                    CONGRESS ON YOUR CORNER CONCERNS

  (Mrs. KIRKPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. KIRKPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, this past weekend, I held a Congress 
on Your Corner in Tucson, Arizona. I met face-to-face with my 
constituents at a supermarket. They shared their grave concerns over 
the President's words and actions.
  One woman had never attended an event like this, but she stopped by 
to tell me she was terrified of losing her health insurance. Another 
woman was concerned about how inaction on climate change would impact 
her children.
  No one President can solve every issue, but we need a President that 
unifies and fights for America's future, not divides us by party, 
economic status, or the country we were born in.
  President Trump's address on Tuesday was more of the same. He doubled 
down on his divisive and destructive agenda with blatant lies. Time and 
again, he has failed the middle class and misinformed the public from 
the power pulpit. The President didn't even utter a word about climate 
change, and he mischaracterized activity at the border.
  But I am listening, and I am here to work. I am focused on investing 
in hardworking families and fighting for people, not corporations. We 
will have votes on the floor this week that prove our investment in and 
care for these issues.
