House Democrats Coordinate Iraq Speeches
July 17, 2007, 7:50pm
With Senate Democrats vowing to force Republicans into a literal filibuster over the Iraq war rather than a procedural one, House Democrats apparently don’t want to miss out on all of the fun. The leadership in the lower chamber coordinated a series of “one-minute speeches” at the beginning of today’s floor debate.
The Gavel, the blog maintained by the staff of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., published video and pullout quotes of some of the speeches, and Pelosi’s office posted more of them to YouTube. Here are links:
- Russ Carnahan of Missouri
- Steve Cohen of Tennessee
- Keith Ellison of Minnesota
- Hank Johnson of Georgia
- John Hall of New York
- Zoe Lofgren of California
- Frank Pallone of New Jersey
- John Sarbanes of Maryland
- Albio Sires of New Jersey
- Tom Udall of New Mexico
