I think cynicism is a refuge for cowards. that cynical people basically throw up their hands and say nothing can change. Thank God people who are fighting for our freedoms in this country didnt give in to cynicism and stop fighting. Thank God that those who have reasons to be cynical about government didnt fall into that trap of cynicism. didnt take that refuge for cowards and kept fighting in this body for so much of the legislation that we take for granted. from workers rights to the rights of immigrants. So my hope. Senator MURPHY. if I can express it to you. is that not only will we fight to win the vote on these two amendmentsone by DIANNE FEINSTEIN in closing the terrorist loophole and the other authored by you. me. and Senator SCHUMER to expand background checksbut my hope is that this filibuster did not just get those four votes but will mobilize it and engage more people to reach out to their Senators.
