Mr. Chair, Greeting · 11 wordsI rise today in strong support of the House budget resolution.Greeting Claims · 34 wordsThis resolution in this reconciliation package builds on the working families tax cuts that were passed into law last year that have lowered taxes for more Americans than probably any tax bill in decades. Procedure · 20 wordsI will talk about one thing, though, that seems to get glossed over by my friends on the other side, ProcedureClaims · 50 wordsand that is the SAVE America Act that is in here. The overwhelming majority of Americans support voter ID when it comes to voting.¹ My home State in North Carolina, a little over a decade ago, adopted it, ²and we have actually seen even greater voter participation since doing so.³ Procedure · 16 wordsI raise the question to some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle: ProcedureClaims · 69 wordsHave they not seen the news that just showed where 6,600 votes were cast in New Jersey by noncitizens?⁴ Voter fraud is happening. That has been discovered. That is documented.Unearned certainty The SAVE America Act--which is a part of this, voter ID-- makes it very clear that for someone to vote, they need to be a citizen as required by the Constitution.⁵ They also must present a form of ID.⁶ Positioning · 5 wordsThis is easy, simple stuff.Positioning Claims · 7 wordsThat is in this resolution, as well. Reasoning · 23 wordsThose who vote against this resolution also vote against this commonsense reform where we want it easy to vote but hard to cheat. Claims · 58 wordsI will say, Mr. Chair, that I am very proud of what the Budget Committee has done in building a responsible budget that funds critical needs right now with our military, with threats that we have against us from around the world, and, at the same time, responsibly spends money and maintains these tax cuts that we passed. Mr. Chair, The ask · 8 wordsI urge my colleagues to support this resolution.
