Mr. KHANNA. Mr. Speaker, I am the son of immigrants, born in
Philadelphia as the Nation celebrated our bicentennial. I ran for
Congress because we have lost sight of our founding ideals. In
Federalist 10, James Madison warned that factions, with their own
special interests, may undermine the public good. Today, Congress is crippled by these factions: powerful PACs and
lobbyists. This must change. I am proud to be one of six Members who
refuse all contributions from PACs, and we need a bipartisan caucus to
eradicate their influence. We also cannot let congressional seats become feudal estates. The
turnover rate here in the people's House is less than European
monarchies.
