Jon Kyl said "We have thousands of young men and women who volunteer to serve their country. What would we think if part of that service means getting sued by somebody? Wouldn't we provide them protection from those kinds of lawsuits? Obviously, we would. The companies that serve us every day when we pick up the phone to make a phone call--we want them to be there to help us--they step forward when the President asks them to volunteer to serve their country, at no profit, as the Senator makes clear, and then they get sued and we are not willing to provide protection to them." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
