Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 7, 1996
On behalf of the more than 600,000 small business owners of the National Federation of Independent Business, I urge all your colleagues to support S. 942, the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. The Bond-Bumpers legislation includes important provisions that have been top priorities for NFIB members for many years. It also includes provisions that were recommended by small business owners at the 1995 White House conference on small business. It then goes on to describe it. It says, in closing, "The vote on S. 942 will be a key small business vote of the 104th Congress." I see my colleague from Arkansas is on the floor so I yield the floor.

Of course. It is exactly the same. It's a right that all Americans have, and no reason why gay and lesbian people ought not to have these rights, too. These are universal rights.

Any time a group of people are denied rights and struggle for their rights, that's a civil rights movement.
