“I want the government to spend money on a bridge. This bridge is very important for our region. Our region is the most sustainable region on Earth. The bridge will connect us to Canada. It will create jobs. Our region needs more investment. Do not put more taxes on our region. Help us instead.”
House of Representatives
“I want the government to spend more money on disabled veterans. I think they should get more money from the government. That will help them. Many people think that is a good idea. If three more people agree, we can vote on it. I want the government to pass this bill.”
“I want to talk about the President and his administration. I think they are bad. I want to blame them for many things. They collected information about citizens. I think the government wants to limit voting. What they did was wrong. A court said it was wrong. They tried to say some people are not citizens. They tried to say some people are dead. That was wrong. People should check if they can vote. I want them to look at a website. I want people to vote. I think rich people are bad. They work with the President. That is bad.”
“I want the House to vote on spending bills. The Energy and Water bill is delayed. We have not passed many bills that fund the government. The fiscal year ends soon. I don't like that Congress is not doing more. I want the Speaker to pass bills. I think it hurts Americans when we don't spend money. I want more government spending.”
“A person lied about a politician abusing kids. I don't like that. I want people to be nicer. Hate is bad. I think you should not be cruel.”
“There are wildfires in Canada. Many people had to leave. Smoke came to my city. The air is bad for people's health. I think both countries should work together. I want cooperation on forest management and fires. I think this will help everyone.”
“I'm happy I went to my old school. They had a sports rally. Many student athletes were there. The dance team did well at a competition. I gave them a flag. I want Congress to applaud all the student athletes in many sports. I think they did a good job.”
“I'm honoring a teacher. He used to be a detective. Now he teaches criminal justice. He helped a student when she was sad. I think he's a good person. I want Congress to honor him.”
“I'm honoring a man who helped rebuild parts of my city. He designed buildings. He helped neighborhoods. He was humble. He thought places and people matter. He led some groups. He redesigned urban spaces. He made our community better. He is remembered by many people. I want to thank him and say his work is important.”
“I'm honoring a teacher from my district. She won an award. She taught reading. She helped students. She is retiring now. I want to thank her and say her work is important.”
House of Representatives
“I want to blame the other party for high health care costs. I say their changes made insurance too expensive. People in my state dropped their insurance. They can't pay for food and health care. I say it's the other party's fault. I want to keep our health care law. I want to keep spending money to make insurance cheaper. The other side is bad and mean. They won't spend more money. I want you to think they're against families. I want to complain that now more people don't have insurance. I want you to blame the other party.”
House of Representatives
“I am sad that soldiers died. I want to blame Trump. He started a war without Congress. It costs too much money. There is no plan to win. I want the other party to say what victory looks like.”
House of Representatives
“A big company took a lot of money from people in my district. I want taxpayers' money given back to them. I wrote a bill about that. I want a committee to talk about my bill.”
House of Representatives
“I am sad. A woman who helped people in my district has died. She ran a community center. The community center helped children. It helped parents. It helped old people. I want people in my district to think about her. I want her family to feel better. I hope people in my district remember her.”

“I want the House to stop working for today. Let's go home and come back tomorrow morning.”
House of Representatives
“The war is bad. It costs too much money. The President doesn't think about how much it costs. The war makes prices go up. Gas is expensive. Farmers pay more for fertilizer. People cannot afford this war. I don't want more money spent on war.”
