Political Quotes

“Madam President, our Nation functions thanks to the extraordinary devotion and patriotism of the American people.

Billie Sue loved America, she loved Arkansas, she loved the Republican Party with all of her heart, and she devoted all of her energy to making them great.

I bet he told her that on Sunday when they were reunited. Billie Sue worked as a teacher in northeast Arkansas for decades, helping young people grow up to become better citizens. Her career as an educator was just one part of her commitment to public service.…”
