The commemoration of Good Friday is a solemn and holy event for Christians. We cannot get to the resurrection of Jesus Christ without traversing through the crucifixion, death, and burial of God’s only begotten son. One of the dividing lines among Christian traditions is the context of Jesus’s Passion and death.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Statement Following Reports from the Census Bureau Indicating that Healthcare Enrollment Has Declined
Jackson Lee— “The numbers outlined in today’s Census Report are not a win for any political party, and Republicans celebrate these statistics at their own peril. In countless opinion polls, Americans list access to affordable, quality healthcare as the number one issue for Americans. In the almost three years of his term, the current occupant of the White House has put forth no plan or roadmap which would meaningfully address this kitchen table issue for millions of Americans. I demand that the President halt his systemic attack on the Affordable Care Act—made apparently for no other reason than envy (at best), or racism (at worst), and that he work with willing partners in the Congress, to fortify our nation’s healthcare apparatus.”
