moreover, in august the national convention of the american legion adopted a resolution opposing legislation to repeal the cfpb forced arbitration rule because among other reasons, it, quote, is extremely unfair to bar service members, veterans, and other consumers from joining together to enforce statutory and constitutional protections in court. close quotes. simply put, service members don't want the c.r.a. and they are watching this vote closely. mr. president, forced arbitration is a prime example of a rigged system whereby powerful corporations and interests play by different sets of rules than average americans. when a normal person defrauds another person that person is entitled to seek a resolution in court. it is wrong for us to allow major corporations to create their own justice system that serves their own interests at the expense of american consumers, families, service members and veterans. i urge my colleagues to oppose this resolution and to prevent the cfpb arbitration rule to go into effect. with that, mr. president, i would note the absence of a quorum. the presiding offi

people who are members of the american legion and asking me, i fought for this country. i'm an american citizen. do they think about us? i have not seen us on the news. my family tells me that we're not on the news, because of course, his tv is not working and because all of the virgin islands is in darkness. we have been able through the valiant efforts of our water and power authority and the linemen and others who are out there to bring power to critical structures, to our government house, to the main blocks on in chris stan stand, to the capital of the virgin islands, to the arptse some relief planes can come in and out. but for so many others, children right now, it is darkness for them. a a couple of hours they have out outside of the curfew are to be making the rounds to get ice and keep insulin refrigerated in their homes, to keep milk for their children and formula for their babies cold before it goes bad. that's the daily struggle now for virgin islanders, american citizens, veterans, people who pledged their allegiance to this flag, people who are proud to say

not over, and we cannot allow forces of reaction to turn back the clock on american racial relations, obliterating the hero efforts of legionsamericans white and black, asian and latino, jewish, muslim and christian, gay, straight, and trans who risk and sometimes give their lives to make certain that the art of the moral universe bend toward justice. too many hands today, ladies and gentlemen, are trying to bend back in another direction. it's a direction for the past. those of us who love truth and justice and those of us who love the principles of democracy upon which this great nation of ours was founded must stand against those horses just as the little rock nine did hear in this very -- did here in this very place. if we hold firm to our moral conscience and to our faith, to our shared history into the possibilities it secured for us, the tragic midnight of our time will be transformed into the glowing daybreak of freedom and justice. thank you very much.
