AN UNBORN CHILD IS A HUMAN LIFE2021-12-01

Mrs. CAMMACK

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank my friend and colleague from the great State of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Meuser), as he is going to talk about another issue that is front and center today that is really hitting the pocketbooks of everyday Americans.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank my friend and colleague from the Sunshine State. These are incredibly important points about the economy. We are seeing over and over, example after example the failures of this administration and how it is impacting working-class families. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Van Drew), my friend and colleague.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, it is almost like my colleague makes too much sense when it comes to the issue of energy production and protecting our critical domestic energy supply. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. C. Scott Franklin).

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from New Jersey. Again, he hits on points that just make too much sense. We know that the so-called Build Back Better bill does nothing more than build the bureaucracy, the same bureaucracy that is strangling everyday Americans and keeping them from prosperity. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Sessions), my friend and colleague.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Tennessee for his remarks. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from the great State of Tennessee (Mr. Burchett), who is my good friend and colleague.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank my friend and colleague from the great State of New Jersey for his beautiful comments. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. McKinley).

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from the great State of West Virginia for his words. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from the great State of Illinois (Mrs. Miller).

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Texas for his powerful remarks. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Clyde), my good friend and fellow champion for life.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank my friend and colleague from Illinois for her comments. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Keller).

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for his remarks and for continuing to be a champion for pro-life and the unborn. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Carter).

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank my friend and colleague from the great State of North Carolina. I am proud to be a representative alongside him as the pro-life generation. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I appreciate the gentleman from Georgia's remarks. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Bilirakis), who is my friend and colleague, to talk about how he is a champion for life and why it is so important.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank my fellow Floridian and champion for life, Representative Bilirakis. I yield to the gentleman from the great State of Texas (Mr. Pfluger), my friend and champion for life.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank my friend and colleague from the great State of Texas for his comments. I yield to the gentlewoman from Indiana (Mrs. Walorski), one of my favorite Hoosiers.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Amen. I thank my friend and colleague from Indiana for her comments. At this time, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Babin), my friend, colleague, and champion for life.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank my friend and colleague from Texas for participating. At this time, I yield to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Good), my friend, colleague, and fellow champion for life.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Virginia for his passion and testimony. It is truly moving. I yield to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Cline), my friend and colleague.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for all the work that he has done to protect life. At this time, I yield to the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Feenstra), a true champion for life.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank my friend and colleague from the great State of Iowa for his comments. I can't tell you how encouraging it is to hear so many of my colleagues fight and stand for life, but I can say with certainty that there is probably no one who has fought harder than Representative Hartzler for not just life but our values. I can't thank the gentlewoman enough for her work. I yield to the gentlewoman from Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler).

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank my dear friend and colleague so much. I am so proud of the work that she has done to advance not just our pro-life cause, but also American values. I thank the gentlewoman for her tireless work. At this time, I yield to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Grothman), my friend, colleague, and another pro-life champion, even though he is, affectionately, my favorite cheesehead.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank my friend and colleague from the great State of Wisconsin for those words. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Weber), a pro-life champion and voice for the unborn.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank my friend and colleague from the great State of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Crawford), another pro-life champion, an incredible Member of Congress, and a friend.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank my friend and colleague for his remarks. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gohmert), a friend, colleague, and a long-time pro-life champion.

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank my great friend and colleague from Texas. I appreciate his continued work and efforts on this very important issue. Madam Speaker, I think it is very fitting that as we close out tonight's Special Order that started with the youngest Republican woman in Congress, that we end with the youngest Republican man. Our generation continues to fight for the pro-life movement, and we believe that we will be the generation that ends abortion. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Cawthorn), my friend and colleague.

PROVIDING FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 5376, BUILD BACK BETTER ACT2021-11-18

Mrs. CAMMACK

Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank my good friend from Pennsylvania (Mr. Reschenthaler) for yielding. Madam Speaker, I am going to read a statement from one of my Democratic colleagues here today. ``Because of last-minute late-night changes to the latest version of the Build Back Better Act, two-thirds of millionaires would get a big tax cut for the next 5 years under the bill. That is one reason that I refuse to vote for the bill without time to review the changes made to it a little over a week ago. Now we know. The tax benefits to these millionaires over 5 years could be 50 times as large as the benefit of the child tax credit for a typical low- or middle-income family. The bill spends more on tax breaks for millionaires than on childcare assistance, education, seniors, and even more than all of the healthcare provisions combined.'' This is from one of our Democratic colleagues. If one of our Democratic colleague is stating this, then we know that there is bipartisan opposition to this bill, a bill that we know is going to kill every single American's American Dream. This is a socialist nightmare that we can simply not afford. One in 25 people in this country is here illegally, and this bill will create a pathway for amnesty and all of the social welfare programs that go with it. We cannot afford this. We cannot agree to bankrupt our children and our grandchildren because of a political agenda. It is unfair. It is not right. It is un-American. I urge all of my colleagues, consider your children, your grandchildren. Madam Speaker, 10 years ago, I, myself, was homeless, and under this bill, had these programs been in place, I probably would have never been able to be standing here today because the American Dream is bankrupted under this bill. Madam Speaker, I urge every single one of my colleagues, think with your hearts and your heads rather than the political agenda that you have been tasked with executing. Vote for the American people.
