               HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE

  (Mr. TED LIEU of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. TED LIEU of California. Madam Speaker, the House of 
Representatives this year has had one of the most productive sessions 
in U.S. history. We have passed over 275 bipartisan bills to the United 
States Senate. Let me just say that again: We have passed over 275 
bipartisan bills to the United States Senate.
  Unfortunately, the Republican-led Senate has not gotten around to 
letting these bills go for a vote.
  Some of these bills include commonsense legislation such as the 
Violence Against Women Act reauthorization, the Save the Internet Act, 
Securing America's Federal Elections Act, the Gold Star Family Tax 
Relief Act, the Climate Action Now Act, the Paycheck Fairness Act, and 
the Raise the Wage Act. It is time for the do-nothing Republicans to 
start doing their jobs.
