I rise in support of the Frank amendment and oppose this bill. Mr. Chairman. once again. the Republican leadership Is seeking to divide the American people by appealing to our emotions and fears. Rather than working to protect middleclass families in this changing economy. the GOP prefers to divert everyones attention from Republican efforts to cripple Medicare and cut taxes for the rich. Why. Mr. Chairman. are we targeting gays and lesbians. blacks. and immigrants this year. now. today? The answer. pure and simple. is politics--election year politics. The Republicans will stop at nothing to win the White House and the Congress.
