SUPPORTING THE 2020 ELECTORAL COLLEGE OBJECTIONS
HON. BOB GOOD OF VIRGINIA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Wednesday, January 6, 2021
Mr. Good of Virginia. Madam Speaker, first, I want to thank the incredible men and women serving as U.S. Capitol Police for their dedicated efforts to keep everyone safe and to secure our Capitol.
On January 3rd I took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. The lawlessness that broke down our Capitol doors today is a reminder of just how sacred our duty is to uphold the rule of law. I want to extend my thanks to my colleagues who join me in continuing the constitutional duties of Congress and having this debate tonight with civility and without fear.
Tonight is about more than the 2020 presidential election; it is about all future elections, and Congress doing its constitutional duty to ensure election integrity, and not accept electoral votes from states with sufficient evidence of fraud that has not been fully investigated, and whose state legislators did not ensure the law was followed or ensure the integrity of their elections.
This challenge is not uncharted territory or a new exercise, as Democrats have objected on this floor to every recent presidential victory by Republicans, most recently challenging the electoral votes for 10 states following the 2016 presidential election, with their primary justification being the phony Russian collusion charges.
What is unprecedented about this presidential election is first, the number of people who believe the election was stolen, second, the amount of evidence that indicates fraud and other violations of election law that has not been investigated, and third, the number of members who are objecting to some of the electoral votes, a number not seen since 1876—or 144 years.
The 2005 bipartisan commission headed by Jimmy Carter and James Baker warned of this type of widespread voter fraud through illegal aliens voting, not requiring identification verification, and mass voting by mail.
These three issues clearly facilitate the compromise of election integrity.
Yet, there have not been any evidentiary hearings to even consider these allegations of voter fraud.
Georgia is one of the most egregious examples of violations of legal election procedures to the degree that it almost certainly determined the outcome of the election allegedly decided by a mere 12,000 votes.
The legislators in Georgia failed to protect and ensure the integrity of their election.
We, the Congress, are the forum for the voices of the American people. It is our responsibility to evaluate the validity of these electoral votes and to either accept them as legitimately cast or reject them as questionable or unreliable.
It is my judgment that the electoral votes submitted by the state of Georgia are unreliable and therefore should not be accepted.
# Congressional Record/Volume 167/Issue 4/Extensions of Remarks/Remembering Christine Terlesky

REMEMBERING CHRISTINE TERLESKY
HON. TIM RYAN OF OHIO IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Wednesday, January 6, 2021
Mr. Ryan. Madam Speaker, I rise today in memory of Christine Terlesky, a beloved mother, wife, teacher, coach, daughter, sister and friend who passed away after a long battle with ALS.
While Christine played many roles, I first came to know her as an advocate. Soon after being diagnosed, she came to Capitol Hill as a passionate voice for families living with ALS to champion additional funding, research, and legislation that would benefit those afflicted with this debilitating disease.
That’s just who Christine was; a person who immediately was spurred into action on behalf of others despite being confronted with a disease that impacted all aspects of her and her family’s lives.
Forever the teacher, she continued to tell her story to teach others about the realities of ALS. Forever the Coach, she used that platform to fight for ALS funding and affordable, universal healthcare for all.
I saw firsthand how Christine passionately gave her time and energy—even as it was in increasingly limited supply—to what she believed in. And for Christine, that meant community. It meant family. It meant Youngstown. We had that in common.
I have fond memories of a dinner we had in D.C. with her sisters, swapping stories of our days as Youngstown State University athletes, our big Italian families, our love of sports, and her 19 years teaching history and government and coaching at Boardman High School. The evening went on for hours.
That dinner was also when I learned of Christine’s deep admiration for Hillary Clinton. In 2016, during one of Secretary Clinton’s campaign stops in Youngstown, I was able to connect Christine to Secretary Clinton. I will never forget the joy in Christine’s face when she first met the Secretary. And in that moment, Christine did what she always did, put others first. She used her short time with the Secretary to advocate for those suffering with ALS.
In her final months, Christine continued to use her online presence to educate and advocate. She never lost her faith in government, advocacy, and enacting policies to improve the lives of Americans.
Christine Terlesky is survived by her parents, Ronald and Judy Moschella of Boardman; her husband, Brian Terlesky; their three children, Brian (21), Tyler (16) and Emma (12); two younger sisters, Nadine (Nick) Colla and Jolene (Donald) Ross; her in-laws, Mary Lou and Ted Terlesky and nieces and nephews, Jenna and Jimmy Vivo, Lia and Nicholas Colla and Tessa, Gianna and Lena Ross.
Christine was one of the most caring, brave, and passionate people I have ever met. She gave her life to helping others and never backed down from a fight. I’m honored to have known her.
She will be sorely missed, but her community—our community—will continue to work together to carry out her mission. My prayers are with her family.

Its noble church, consecrated in November, 1123, measures 317 feet by 124 feet across the transepts, and remains essentially Norman, in spite of later additions—Early English, Decorated, and Perpendicular. It was restored by Scott in 1875-1879. Special features are the W. front and the massive central tower, 132 feet high.

# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Thorn (plant)

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
THORN, a sharp conical projection constituting the growing point of a branch which has proved abortive. That this is its origin is shown by the fact that sometimes trees, which are thorny in their wild state, have their spines converted into branches when long cultivated in a garden, as is the case with the apple and the pear. A thorn differs from a prickle, which is so superficial that it comes away when the bark is peeled off, while in similar circumstances a thorn, being deep seated, remains. Sometimes thorns bear leaves, as in the whitethorn.

# Congressional Record/Volume 167/Issue 4/House/Counting Electoral Votes/Pennsylvania Objection Debate/Herrera Beutler Speech

​Ms. Herrera Beutler. Madam Speaker, is this a country, is this an America that we want to give to our children, a country of lawlessness, of might makes right, of mob rule?
Previous generations of Americans have laid down their lives to answer “no” to that question. I do not want to be the first generation of Americans so selfish as to answer “yes.” Nothing is more important to me than preserving this constitutional Republic as a Representative.
Article II of the Constitution states: “Each State shall appoint, in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors,” meaning that it is the duty of the State legislatures to select their electors in a manner they stipulate. It is right here.
The Founders of our Republic did not want to federalize elections, which is why they reserved the selection of electors to the State legislatures.
Historically, when Congress intervened in the electoral process, it was in the Civil War. It was when States were sending multiple slates of electors. But that is not the case today.
Of the six States actively being contested, five have Republican legislatures; five are controlled by one party; five have the authority to get together and to vote to change the elector that they sent to us.
How many of the six did? Not one.
Pennsylvania did not get together and vote as a body and send us a new slate of electors. They did not send us a bill or a resolution citing injustice at the State level.
None of them.
Are they cowards? Do they not know the Constitution? Have they not read ​it, like you and I? Or are they merely passing the buck?
Here is the reality. Look, I believe this was not a fraud-free election. I believe that there were problems in Pennsylvania and in Georgia. But the Constitution gives us the right to fix that at the State level, not throw out the electoral college. We do not want to absolve the responsibility of the people in those States to hold their own lawmakers accountable.
I, as a Washington State Congresswoman, don’t know better than the people in Pennsylvania and Georgia.
Folks, we can’t vote to undermine the electoral college today. We have to uphold it.
