Political Quotes

“You can tell from just the few I read what an amazing coalition we have. We can do this. I have a fabulous committee that I am the ranking member of--fabulous on my side, wonderful on the Republican side. We really care about getting things done. I hope we will have a fabulous vote on this final passage and that the House will take up our bill, pass it, and not go back to square one and start arguing. I say to my friends in this House, through this opportunity I have on the floor, this is an example of bipartisanship. This is an example of good governance. This is an example you should follow because we avoided the fights, we worked together, and we worked it out. Let's get it done. Let's get it to the President's desk. Let's not wait for a lameduck. There is no reason. People should be able to know we did something good for them. We did something great for them. This bill, while I am sure it isn't 100-percent perfect from anybody's eyes, is very solid, very strong, very good. I hope we will pass it with the biggest vote we can and the House will take it up. Thank you so much for your patience. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Alaska.”
