Selling Life Insurance: Things I Wish I Knew Before Started-Finding the RIGHT Organization

Five years ago, insurrectionists, they tried to overturn an election. They assaulted our heroic Capitol Police officers and attacked not only this building, but American democracy itself. The president wants to rewrite the story of what happened that day, but he wasn't at that Capitol when the violent mob attacked. I was there. As the incoming chair of the Rules Committee, it was my job and Roy Blunt's job to make sure all the electoral ballots were counted. That morning began with pomp and circumstance. Senator Blunt and I and the vice president led a train of elected officials from the Senate to the House to start the ceremony. Three pairs of young women held the mahogany boxes with the electoral ballots for the entire country, and then came the insurrection. Capitol Police officers were attacked, pepper sprayed, clubbed, and trampled, and at 3.30 in the morning, the only senators left were Senator Blunt and myself and Vice President Pence, along with those same six women carrying those mahogany boxes from this chamber to the other, but this time it wasn't pageantry. It wasn't a parade. It was just Vice President, Senator Blunt, myself, and those boxes, but this time we were walking over broken glass. We were walking past marble pillars spray-painted with racist vulgarities, but we made the walk. We got to the House. The House members that were there, Speaker Pelosi at the time, was there waiting for us, and we did our jobs. That was January 6. Tragically, five brave officers who reported for duty that day ultimately passed away, and the courage of these officers will be remembered forever, and rewriting of history cannot stand. As we know today, the White House released a webpage to describe the day as Patriots March to the Capitol and blame the Capitol Police, and it doesn't even mention the injuries and the over 100 officers that were injured.
