                         NATIONAL FAIRYTALE DAY

  (Mr. FARENTHOLD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FARENTHOLD. Mr. Speaker, today is national fairytale day, and my 
office has been having some fun with it on Twitter. I got together with 
the staff, and we came up with some hashtag liberal fairytales: ``If 
you like your health insurance, you can keep it.'' ``Benghazi was 
caused by a YouTube video.''
  But the biggest one seems to be happening right now. It is a liberal 
fairytale that House Republicans want to shut down the Department of 
Homeland Security. Weeks ago, we passed a bill fully funding it. It is 
the Democrats in the Senate who have refused to take up that bill and 
debate it and vote for closure that are going to close the Department 
of Homeland Security.
  So on national fairytale day, we have got a whopper of a fairytale 
from the liberals. The fact that the Republicans want to shut down DHS 
is nothing but a hashtag liberal fairytale.
