Political Quotes

“President Bush recently delivered his budget proposals for Fiscal Year 2003 to Congress. I was hopeful that all Americans would be a part of the American dream, but he has woefully put almost 60 percent of us in jeopardy. The most pressing question in Washington this year is will we support a budget that makes the wealthiest 15 percent of Americans wealthier, or will we pursue policies that will keep 60 percent of the people from becoming worse off. I wholeheartedly support the President in his efforts to improve homeland security and to further strengthen our military. We have finally adjusted to the post cold war world, and after the terrorist attacks of September 11, we now have an even better understanding of the world and those who threaten us. I fully support the President's efforts to strengthen our military forces through modern equipment and facilities and highly trained and compensated personnel. I also applaud the President for his efforts to strengthen our security at home. The concept of 'Homeland Security' holds special meaning to the people of our nation for the first time in more than 50 years. The images of that fateful day in September will haunt each of us for the rest of our lives. But we are a strong and proud people and we will not forsake our responsibilities to guard the privileges of freedom for which so many of our forefathers shed their own blood.”
