What Mary E. Miller said, and what was done

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of Chairman Steil's bill, H.R. 7008, the Stop Insider Trading Act, of which I am a proud cosponsor. As Members of the United States Congress, it is our job to preserve the integrity of this institution and take seriously the responsibility placed on us by our constituents.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Guthrie for his important leadership. Mr. Speaker, the statistics are alarming. The average age of a child's first exposure to pornography is just 12 years old, and nearly 80 percent of America's children between 12 and 17 have already been exposed to it.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of my bill, H.R. 7726, the Stop Child Care Scams Act, which joins with the administration's efforts to rid the Federal Government of waste, fraud, and abuse.”

“Mr. Speaker, a special thanks to Chairman Walberg and Representative Owens for leading this important bill. As reports continue to come out from the Department of Education, we have seen that public schools are blatantly violating FERPA by secretly encouraging children to adopt so-called transgender identities behind their parents' back.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Congressman Self for holding this Special Order and for confronting an issue that too many are afraid to name with clarity and conviction. Sharia law is fundamentally incompatible with our Constitution and the values that define our Nation.”

“Mr. Speaker, the SAVE America Act ensures that only American citizens vote in American elections. This should be the easiest ``yes'' vote this year. The American people want the SAVE America Act.”

“Democrats cannot win on their ideas because their agenda has made life harder for American families. The Democratic Party knows that cheating is their only path to victory.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, 53 years ago, the tragedy of Roe v. Wade was decided, and 65 million innocent lives are not here.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 6359, the Pregnant Students' Rights Act. Mr. Speaker, college can be a challenging environment, especially for pregnant women. Many feel forced to choose between motherhood and their education.”

“Mr. Speaker, Doug was one of the first friends that I made when I joined the Agriculture Committee back in 2021. I soon learned that we had a lot in common.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 498, the Do No Harm in Medicaid Act. Medicaid was designed as a safety net to be used only by U.S. citizens when they fall onto hard times and need medical support.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today truly heartbroken over the tragic loss of my friend and fellow Illinois native, Charlie Kirk. Charlie was a devoted husband and father, a bold Christian who never backed down from speaking truth peacefully.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Congressman Smith so much for his decades of service to the pro-life movement. June 24, 2022, will forever be one of the greatest days in American history.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight in recognition of Faith Month, a time that we set aside each year in this body to share the importance of our faith and how it inspires us in public service.”

“Mr. Speaker, our Founding Fathers, including George Washington, did not shy away from expressing their religious beliefs. In 1854, Congress made the statement: ``The great, vital and conservative element in our system is the belief of our people in the pure doctrines and the divine truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ.'' That is Congress, 1854.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for his comments. Mr. Speaker, I remind everybody again that our Founding Fathers did not shy away from sharing their faith. Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence, Surgeon General of the Continental Army, ratifier of the American Constitution, father of American medicine, Treasurer of the U.S.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the rule, which includes several Congressional Review Acts against the disastrous Biden-era electric vehicle mandates. These create undue, burdensome rules, which impact our rural communities.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the SAVE Act, which includes robust measures to prevent illegal aliens from participating in our elections. Under Joe Biden, millions of illegal aliens flooded into our country, and many were given the benefits and privileges that should be reserved for American citizens.”

“Mr. Speaker, maybe the Democrats should quit wasting so much time in our public schools indoctrinating our children and, instead, teach them real-life skills such as reading, civics, and how to get an ID.”

“Mr. Speaker, today, Senator Mike Lee and I will reintroduce the Shielding Children's Retinas from Egregious Exposure on the Net Act, also known as the SCREEN Act. The average age of a child's first exposure to pornography is 11 years old.”

“Mr. Speaker, I commend President Trump for his steps to close down the Department of Education and to return power back to the parents. For too long the Department of Education has overstepped its bounds, imposing top-down policies that have done more harm than good.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank President Trump for his efforts to reverse the harmful immigration policies of the last administration. On his first day in office, President Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border and reinstated policies to stop the flood of illegal immigrants into the United States.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in defense of women. I rise in support of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act which safeguards our daughters from the radical Democrats' agenda to have our daughters and granddaughters compete against and share locker rooms with men.”
