We want to make sure that we protect the constitutional rights that people have under the First Amendment.

We are all pro-worker people, we are all pro-labor, we want to see people back to work.

I don't think anybody should ever be forced to donate to a political campaign or a candidate.

Nobody should ever force you to give money to a political candidate you do not want to give money to.

I am glad we are having this hearing because I know back in my District quite a few of the companies that are involved in this are also wondering about how difficult it is and how more difficult it is going to become for them to compete in…

I agree with the gentleman, and I will tell you that I join in your fight. This is not only a fight that we must fight; this is a battle we must win. {time} 2100 I will fight with you every step of the way. We cannot continue to take a…

We are not some benevolent monarchy that showers favors on people. We take it out of hardworking American taxpayers' pockets.

The truth of the matter is the government has been involved in this far deeper than they ever should have been to begin with.

General Motors does not need the help of the taxpayers to subsidize their cars.

It's a matter, Mr. Kucinich, of protecting people from harm, and in this case I think we're protecting the administration more than we are the American public.

We have created now a question of trust, not only here in this body, but also with your agency, because now the American people got to start to wonder.

The responsibility that we all have to the American public is the same thing: to protect them from health care costs or economic costs related from an injury.

This is not to attack you personally. This is not about anybody's personality. This is about performance.

There is a difference between the two of us. You were actually appointed and I was elected.

Believe me, I was a lot more comfortable in my showroom back in Butler, Pennsylvania, than I am sitting here today.

We are going to close down the community. That could not be farther from the truth.

This cannot go up to the highest bidder. There is not going to be the Hyatt Hotel.

The purpose of these hearings really, I cannot tell you, the way I look at it, to me there is such a bias.

It is very disappointing for me, not just as a Member of Congress, as a citizen of the United States, to look and say, so you know what? They didn't do what you wanted them to do, so we structured language to keep them out of the hall.

I have to tell you, just coming from a private background, I look at this and I say, you know what? We got gamed on this.

And I think this is where the question comes in: Why? Why now? Why do we go away from the way we used to look at things?

And I know we debate this all the time. But you could structure the language of this grant that would eliminate the conscience clause.

I am seeing that there is language that I am wondering about, regarding the development of the language giving preference to applicants that provide all reproductive services.

I really believe that we have lulled ourselves into believing that we are truly safe and we don't need to keep up a stronger front.

A vast moat to protect us as long as we hold it . . . [a] protective shield for all of the Americas and all of the free lands of the Pacific Ocean area, a chain of islands extending in an arc from the Aleutians to the Marianas held by us…
