Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a very impressive group of individuals visiting the Capitol this week. Delegates of the National Center for Learning Disabilities have traveled from all over the country to advocate for themselves and their peers. When it comes to learning, each of us must deal with our own unique challenges. These young people face some particularly difficult obstacles, including dyslexia and dysgraphia, which interfere with the brain's ability to interpret information. But they have not let these obstacles prevent them from doing great things. They have persevered, working hard, not just for their own success but for the future success of others. By traveling to Washington to share their stories and discuss opportunities for governmental and societal change, these young adults have demonstrated deep commitment to the community of those who have learning disabilities. I admire their dedication and hope to use my role as co-chair of the Congressional Dyslexia Caucus to help them in these efforts. May they be encouraged to keep up their great work. ____________________”
