Distinguished chairman, Ranking Member of the Homeland Security committee, congressman Benny Thompson of mississippi. Congressman thompson has been a champion for protecting the homeland of our country. And really has been a persistent advocate, dissatisfied sometimes in what has happened. Hell talk about that. But as we go into the fourth of july weekend, were here to talk about something, about our democracy. And what our founders sacrificed for us to be able to have the sacred right to vote. How that has been fought for over the years. For women, for the africanamerican community, for women later and what it means to have an assault on it by a foreign power. Before i yield to mr. Thompson, though, i just wanted to Say Something about the Health Care Bill. As you know, Mitch Mcconnell is postponing his very damaging, the vote on this bill and its a setback for them, but its not a victory for us. This is progress, in terms of exposing the bill for what it is. But more needs to be done
