                       BIPARTISAN AMERICAN GOALS

  (Mr. CARTWRIGHT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Madam Speaker, I rise to lament the failure of the 
For the People Act, H.R. 1, in the United States Senate. It is a sad 
week that this has happened.
  H.R. 1, the For the People Act, ought to be a bipartisan American 
goal. It ought to be a bipartisan American goal that we get big secret 
money out of politics. It ought to be a bipartisan American goal that 
we protect people's right to vote throughout this land. It ought to be 
a bipartisan American goal that we end gerrymandering and let the 
people choose the politicians instead of the politicians choosing their 
voters.
  I am here to say that we are not done with the For the People Act and 
its goals. Let's make it bipartisan and let's make it an American goal.
