                            DEMAND FAIRNESS

  (Mrs. WAGNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. WAGNER. Mr. Speaker, moments ago, I joined veterans from all 
over Missouri's Show Me State at the sacred grounds of our Nation's 
World War II Memorial. This memorial is a

monument to the spirit and sacrifice of our veterans, and yet Harry 
Reid and the President decided to slam the door on the American people 
and block the House from providing benefits to our Nation's heroes and 
keeping our national treasures open.
  Time and time again, the House has voted to keep the government open 
and provide fairness for all Americans--fairness from an administration 
that believes they can pick and choose which laws to enforce, while 
subjecting the American people to the heavy burdens of ObamaCare; 
fairness from a President who thinks ObamaCare doesn't apply to Members 
of Congress or the White House.
  As a result of partisan bickering and gridlock, I have waived my 
salary for the duration of the government shutdown because Congress 
didn't get the job done. Those who make the laws should live by the 
laws, and I will continue to fight for the people of Missouri's Second 
District.
