Political Quotes

“I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to voice strong opposition to this fatally flawed Iran deal. By signing the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015, the President agreed to allow all documents, secret annexes, and side deals to be reviewed by the U.S. Congress. But, once again, President Obama has not complied with the law of the land and, therefore, does not have the authority to waive sanctions on Iran. By lifting sanctions on the Iranian regime, a nation that finances the likes of Hezbollah, Hamas, and other terrorist groups will receive over $100 billion in assets and no doubt will continue to fund terrorist organizations at probably greater levels than they are able to do today, those terrorist organizations with the motto ``death to America.'' Have we learned nothing from our past mistakes? The same person that negotiated the deal with North Korea also led the discussions with Iran. We must ask ourselves, Is the world a safer place when unstable nations like North Korea are testing nuclear weapons? The number one responsibility of the United States Congress charged to us in the Constitution is national security. This agreement jeopardizes our security because I believe, as the Prime Minister of Israel believes, that this will ensure that Iran will get a nuclear weapon. For the security of America and our friends and allies around the world, we must oppose this agreement.”
