                             WE ALL ARE ONE

  (Mrs. BACHMANN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I am a mother of five biological children 
and of 23 wonderful foster children. My heart is broken, as my 
colleague's heart is broken, over any teenager whose life is taken away 
from them.
  But I believe without a shadow of a doubt that it doesn't matter the 
color of a person's skin in the United States when it comes to justice.

has a blindfold over her eyes because justice is colorblind. Justice 
shouldn't look at the color of our skin or our ethnicity or our 
financial background.
  Facts have to be recognized as facts. Law has to be recognized as 
law. No matter if we are White or Black or Hispanic or Asian, whatever 
our background, justice must be served. That's why we need to stand up 
and stand up for justice in this country, not have justice that is 
separate for Blacks or separate for Hispanics or separate for Whites. 
We all need to be one under our law.
