LTE from Congressman Hoyer: Reflections on the Floor Session on March 13

Dear Constituents and People of the United States of America,

I just wanted to inform you on the recent bill debated on the floor seeking to remove restrictions on gun rights that was considered today. After the debate I presented on the bill, I was verbally harassed by several of my colleagues from across the aisle for the information that I had presented. They belittled my character and the quality of my points. I just wanted to remind members of Congress from across the aisle that verbal comments specifically directed at members of Congress are out of line and contrary to the parliamentary procedures. I hope that fellow members of Congress across the aisle should reread the proper protocol necessary for floor sessions. Belittling members of Congress is frankly, unacceptable.

Congressman Hoyer
