text: Immediately after #VAWA vote, I will be speaking on House floor about the need to prevent sequester cuts. If we allow the sequester to take effect, Americans will see more teacher layoffs, indiscriminate cuts to special education, a loss of 4 million meals for seniors, and debilitating cuts to health care for military families. There is still time to prevent these harmful across-the-board spending cuts.   I will be asking for unanimous consent to bring up H.R. 699, a balanced bill to replace the sequester, and includes both spending cuts and revenues.
