CRISIS IN SYRIA; Congressional Record Vol. 158, No. 92

CRISIS IN SYRIA

(Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas asked and was given permission to address

the House for 1 minute.)

Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, the crisis in Syria is getting

worse and worse and worse. I join with the United Nations, but I ask

that the Arab League and NATO raise their voices to remove women and

children and the elderly and the disabled and the sick from this

onslaught of violence.

And I ask the head of Russia, Mr. Putin, does he have a heart? Is he

going to continue on the basis of ego and collaboration, determined

that he allow the violence against the Syrian people to continue?

I ask my Christian friends in Syria, as well, to join with the world

of humanity to stop the violence against women and children. It is time

now.

One Vote, One Person

Mr. Speaker, I change to another topic very quickly and say: one

vote, one person. The voter ID law doesn't allow that, and the massive

infusion of dollars coming from places that no one knows, no one has to

account for. Let us have the Constitution stand again. Let America have

a 2012 election without the infusion of unnamed dollars; now, $100

million may be coming into this election from one person. Mr. Speaker,

the Constitution deserves respect--one vote, one person.
