Political Quotes

“Mr. President, it is one of my favorite times during the week, when I get to come to the Senate floor--I know it is the pages' favorite time--to talk a little bit about Alaska and talk about my State and present what we weekly call the ``Alaskan of the Week.'' It is the opportunity to talk about someone in the community who has done something great for their community, for the State, maybe for America, and I would like to recognize this great variety of wonderful Alaskans, great Americans, whom we have in my State and talk about them. By the way, I always like to give a little update on what is going on in Alaska and to talk to people who are in the Gallery and who are watching on TV and encourage them--now is the time to plan your next trip to Alaska if you are going to come next summer. But, also, you should know that winter, which is coming--it has pretty much come to Alaska--is a great time to visit too. It is a winter wonderland. You can ski, snowboard, and at end of the day, sit back and drink something warm and watch the northern lights dance in the sky. You can't do that in many States in our great Nation. So come on up for the trip of a lifetime. We want you to come whether it is summer, winter, fall, spring; it doesn't matter. You will not be disappointed if you come visit us in the great State of Alaska.…”
