Mr. Carbajal for those two keep repeating after each mass shooting that it is too soon to discuss gun violence reform, please consider that for many families, including my own, it is far too late.

By her early 20s she was living on the streets, begging and stealing to survive. After a local gang member suspected that she may have stolen his money, her life became even more horrific and hellish. The gangster beat her mercilessly with a baseball bat until she clamsed. Then he and other gang members pistol whipped her and burned her with cigarettes. They tattooed their names all over her body. Branding her as property. For six years they held her in slavery, forced her to have sex with countless men for money. Desperate, jennifer tried to kill herself. But with a rope but when her rope broke, she resolved to escape. Luckily for jennifer, she found a shelter andway was able to rebuild her life. She covered up the traffickers names with flowers in the words and the words free yourself. We as a society owe jennifer and survivors like her to protect them and put the slave masters in the jail house where they belong. And thats just the way it is. I yield back.

To protect consumers. In fact, he once said that he doesnt, and i quote, like the fact that the cfpb even exists. End quote. When he was a member of congress, he cosponsored legislation to eliminate it. Now as director of the cfpb, he wants to zero out its budget for this year. He eviscerated the cfpbs rules against predatory payday lending, and then dropped all the lawsuits against them. He halted its investigation into equifax.
