“I am honoring a former staff member. He worked hard for gay and lesbian people. He helped me with many political campaigns. In Congress, he worked on many issues. He worked against people who do not want gay marriage. He worked for gay people who want to be in the military. We worked together to make sure gay marriage stays legal. I like him a lot. He is my friend.”

“I don't like the war in Iran. I want the war to end. It costs a lot of money. I want that money spent on other things. I want taxpayers' money spent on housing and healthcare instead. The war has no end in sight. I want more diplomacy and negotiations. I want Congress to stop the war.”

“I want to congratulate a cranberry farm in my state. It is old and successful. It helped make Wisconsin a big cranberry producer. I'm happy I helped them too.”

“A man named Sherman Stock died. He did many things. He worked for the government. He helped the environment. He started Earth Day. He helped pass laws. He is gone now. That makes me sad. I want to remember him by telling you about him. He will be missed.”
