March 19, 2021

Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 19, 2021
Tweet - "@LeaderMcConnell seems hellbent on using the archaic filibuster to allow the Senate minority to block any legislation designed to protect voting & civil rights for our country's minority citizens as we continue our pursuit toward fulfillment of "liberty & justice for all."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 19, 2021
Scorched Earth to Mississippi Burning
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 18, 2021
Tweet - "Many of our nation's farmers work tirelessly to put food on our tables, yet they often live in fear of deportation. The Farm Workforce Modernization Act allows farmworkers to earn legal status and improves job opportunities in the agriculture industry."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 18, 2021
Tweet - "Tuesday's shooting in Georgia is a tragic example of the threats and violence many Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders having been facing for the past year. Hate has no place in this country. We must all stand together against bigotry & violence and #StopAsianHate."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 18, 2021
Addressing the Border Crisis
Rep. Ralph Norman
March 18, 2021
Tweet - "58 years ago SCOTUS issued the Gideon v. Wainwright decision giving all defendants the right to legal counsel. Yet wrongful imprisonment remains far too common, and disparities plague our criminal justice system. "Justice for all' requires criminal justice reform."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 18, 2021
Tweet - "Dreamers are our neighbors, friends, colleagues, and classmates. They fully contribute to our economy and are vital to what makes this country great. Their #HomeIsHere and the Dream Act will ensure that they can call America home, permanently."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 18, 2021

Tweet - "Yesterday, the House passed my legislation to close the #CharlestonLoophole, moving us one step closer to making gun ownership safer. I hope the Senate will follow our lead and send these lifesaving bills to President Biden's desk to be signed into law."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 11, 2021
Tweet - "96% of gun background checks are completed within 3 business days. The #CharlestonLoophole bill would allow the FBI additional time to complete the remaining 4% of background checks to ensure firearms don't fall into the wrong hands."

Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 11, 2021
Tweet - "Since 1998, the Charleston Loophole has put over 75,000 guns into the hands of prohibited gun owners. We must fix the #CharlestonLoophole to keep these weapons from falling into the wrong hands!"
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 11, 2021
Tweet - "In 2019, almost 3,000 guns were sold to prohibited purchasers after the 3 day waiting period. The #CharlestonLoophole bill would allow the FBI more time to run background checks so we can stop prohibited gun owners from slipping through the cracks."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 11, 2021
Tweet - "FBI analysis of the current background check system shows that 3 business days isn't always enough time to decide if someone shouldn't be allowed to own a gun. The #CharlestonLoophole bill gives them the time they need to conduct a thorough investigation."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
