                 DARK MONEY INTERESTS SQUEALING LOUDLY

  (Mr. CARTWRIGHT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, this week we will be passing H.R. 1, the 
For the People Act, and the dark money interests are squealing loudly 
about it right now.
  H.R. 1, the For the People Act, requires exposure of the identities 
of the people and companies that are the dark money that contribute 
hundreds of millions of dollars toward American elections, including 
Federal elections, in this country--people and companies that don't 
have to reveal who they are, what they are about, what profits they are 
trying to maximize, or even if they are from the United States of 
America. They don't have to reveal any of that.
  H.R. 1, the For the People Act, is to restore democracy to this 
country, to restore pure democracy so that we know who is paying for 
these elections. The dark money interests are squealing about it. They 
are squealing like stuck pigs. Let's pass H.R. 1.
