                    THIS CONGRESS DESERVES AN ``F''

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COHEN. Madam Speaker, we are going to adjourn and not do the 
people's business because we, thus far, have gotten an ``F'', an ``F'' 
for the work for the people of this Congress.
  We have taken healthcare away from hundreds of thousands of people. 
We have taken SNAP payments and nutritional sustenance away from tens 
of hundreds of thousands of people. We have made injuries to the Earth, 
God's Earth, which we are here to preserve and we only use.
  We have taken away women's rights to go to Planned Parenthood to have 
the healthcare that they need, important healthcare about their bodies.
  We have taken away protections for clean energy, to change the rate 
of growth of global warming that affects our planet and affects our 
future with hotter and hotter summers and more and more problems: flash 
floods, fires, and disasters.
  This Congress has earned an ``F.'' We do not deserve any more.
  I am ashamed to be a part of this Congress, but I will be because 
people need to stand up, speak the truth, and stand up for things that 
the American people have stood for for a long time like justice, due 
process, fairness, caring about the little guy, and caring about giving 
people something who have not enough but not something to people who 
have too much: millionaires and billionaires.
