Leader Pelosi. Good afternoon everyone. The votes, as usual, rule our timetable, so forgive me for being a few minutes late. But, we are all here to raise our voices against the Republicans’ cynical balanced budget constitutional amendment, and their brazen attacks on Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. We are very honored that Lisa James Henson is here, and perhaps Lucila Torres will be here as well, to share their stories with us.
