Rep. Fred Miller, from the 31st District, offered the following invocation:
"Father God, we haven't the capacity nor the faculties to comprehend all Your wonders, Your greatness, and the many ways You have and continue to bless our lives.
The opportunity to serve Your people, Lord, in this wondrous place we call Michigan, is the honor of a lifetime. We thank You, Lord, and give You all the praise. We pray, Lord, that we are able to fully utilize the talents You have given us to do Your will. And as we do so, Lord, let us be always mindful of the words You left for us in the Gospel according to Matthew, where it is written:
'Then the King will say to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."
'Then the righteous will answer Him, "Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink? When did we see You a stranger and invite You in, or needing clothes and clothe You? When did we see You sick or in prison and go to visit You?"
'The King will reply, "I tell You the truth, whatever You did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, You did for me."
Lord, we confess that it is a passage we know all too well, but that sometimes gets lost amidst our narrow agendas. Give us the vision to see Your light in everyone we meet.
Lastly, though we know that war is not Your way, Lord, we ask that You watch over those whose lives are caught in the midst of the many conflicts around the world and especially those who serve in the armed forces of the United States of America.
Father, we recognize that many call You by different names and worship You according to different traditions, but today, Lord, I ask all these things in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen."

Rep. Bieda, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
This is one of the cruelest means of dealing with a vulnerable population that I have seen presented in the House of Representatives. If this amendment were to be adopted, it would almost immediately impact more than 20,000 children and would punish those who have followed the rules. This is a cruel and shameless approach to a complex problem, one that is undoubtedly advanced simply to score cheap political points against those who stand for decency in their approach to some of our most vulnerable individuals."

Rep. Bieda, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Reducing the lifetime limit, from 48 to 24 months, only compounds some of the problems the bill as a whole contains. First of all, this limit is retroactive to October of 1996, meaning that tens of thousands of people, including at least 20,000 children will be summarily purged from FIP cash assistance on January 1, 2007. This is not a smart way of approaching a complex issue. And frankly, this is clearly one of those hot-button political issues that seems more designed for use in someone's negative campaign literature than an honest or thoughtful approach to a complex public policy issue."

______
Rep. Bieda, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
House Bill 4309, while it contains some good changes, still contains many problems. Unfortunately, even those ideas that may have some merit are to be implemented in a way that virtually ensures bad outcomes for FIP recipients, particularly those that need it the most. I think that the increase for advocacy services through the Legal Services Association of Michigan will help save the state money, and will help SSI eligible clients get through the process more quickly, and it is one of the better things in this bill. On the other hand, there are a number of other issues that will create more problems and have very little positive impact. Although I support improving and reforming our welfare system, and while this bill contains some good reforms, as a whole the bill has too many problems and I cannot in good conscience support this bill in its entirety. Thus I voted 'no.'"
By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of
Motions and Resolutions
Rep. Ward moved to suspend that portion of Rule 44 requiring bills to be handed to the Clerk three hours prior to calling the House to order.
