"These past few days have been an education for me. Why are we afraid to make our own decisions about the future of our union. Every motion, every recommendation, baring none, have been approved with very little debate, and some with no debate at all. Brothers and sisters, when you vote in favor of calling for a question and leave delegates standing at the mic waiting to debate the matter on the floor, you tread on those delegates' right to speak. You deprive yourselves of hearing another point of view and the convention of the tools with which to make a sound decision. I know this is wrong, and you know this is wrong. "
