Nasa Enhanced Use Leasing Extension Act of 2021

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. BEATTY. Mr. Speaker, desperate attempts? Hijacking our voting rights? That is exactly what our Republican colleagues are doing.

And why? Because when Democrats vote, Democrats win, and we provide for our children, our families, and our businesses.

I stand here today in support of the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act of 2022 because Black people representing the Congressional Black Caucus have stood in line, have been attacked by dogs, have put their lives on the line, and crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge for us to have the right to vote.

America, watch what is happening today. Watch what Republicans are trying to do: Take away your fundamental right to vote.

Let us restore our democracy. Let's stand up for what four Republican Presidents in the past did. They reauthorized the Voting Rights Act. Republicans are scared, and they are hijacking Americans' rights.

Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, you can tell it must be NFL playoffs, as I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Owens), my good friend and our Super Bowl champion from the Oakland Raiders.
