Bryan Steil Republican
“I want the House to pass this resolution against socialism. The Democratic Socialists of America want to change our elections, get rid of the Senate, and put all the power in the hands of the government. This vote will show the American people where each lawmaker stands.”
“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, per the comments that this calls out socialism and not communism, it calls out socialism in all its forms. So if the gentleman who just spoke dislikes communism, he has a great opportunity to vote for this resolution. Per the commentary about election law, this is a direct contrast between the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America who want to dramatically change the election process in the United States of America. The Democratic Socialists of America want to change how we elect the President of the United States. They want to abolish the Senate. They want to dramatically transform the democracy of the United States of America. Why? It is because socialism concentrates power. What they want to do is establish socialism, which is easy to elect but very difficult to remove. That is why this resolution is so important. It is so the American people will know where their Member stands. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Walberg) to speak on the resolution.”
