Speaker, in this Chamber, Members
that I have had the pleasure to get to know over the last 4 years that
I have been here who hail from all parts of the country, from all
backgrounds, who are among the best and brightest in their communities,
who are here to do the right thing, to deliver for their constituents
and to put this country first. It is interesting that, despite that, we
haven't been able to get many of the big things accomplished for this
country. We can think about things like comprehensive immigration
reform or comprehensive tax reform, for that matter, or educational and
healthcare reforms that are going to impact every single family and
every single one of the communities that we represent. I think part of the reason is that we need to reform the institution
itself. And those reforms could take the form of comprehensive campaign
finance reform or ending gerrymandering of districts and having a
national congressional redistricting committee that is nonpartisan that
draws those lines on rational, logical bases.
