Rep. Doggett Message on Pope Francis Congressional Address

“The Pope’s message of goodness and hope, of peace and justice, touches people of all faiths. I salute his call for dialogue and cooperation to respond to the most disadvantaged, reject violence, and serve as stewards of our threatened planet. His reminder that we all come from families of foreigners is an antidote to the poisonous misrepresentations about immigrants, which bombard us daily. I hope his nonpolitical words lead to more effective action from a Congress that has accomplished so little.” --Rep. Lloyd Doggett
