                        REMEMBERING TINA TURNER

  (Ms. KAMLAGER-DOVE asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAMLAGER-DOVE. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the queen of rock 
and roll, the incomparable Tina Turner.
  She passed away yesterday at 83 years of age after a career so bold 
and sparkling, we are unlikely to see another star so bright.
  What did love have to do with it? Everything.
  Tina Turner loved and owned her own story. She unveiled the trauma of 
domestic violence and turned it into a strength felt by women across 
the

world. She was a true ambassador of the Buddhist practice, showed 
female artists how to take ownership of their brand, and she used music 
to speak and captivate us.
  She was a constituent of the 37th District, having lived in View 
Park, the heart of my district. Her passing is a true loss to the 
global community.
  In this moment, she would probably say to Republicans: Don't hide 
this weekend. Stay and do your job. The American people deserve more 
from you. They work hard and don't deserve to be blamed, lied to, and 
defaulted on by a dysfunctional Republican Party who can't get its act 
together. Lead, don't bleed the American people.
  No, wait, I said that.
