Political Quotes

I hope colleagues will take a moment to look at this picture, because this is what we are talking about: exhaling toxic air, and little kids and members of our families who have to use this kind of inhaler. Exhale pollutants, inhale with an inhaler. This is a poster done by the American Lung Association. Every respected public health group opposes the Paul resolution. If your neighbor dumped toxic garbage on your front lawn, that would harm your family. You would do two things. No. 1, you would say clean it up and, No. 2, you would say never do it again. That is all the rule does that Senator Paul is trying to eviscerate here. Vote no for jobs, for clean air, for our families. Sixty-seven percent of the American people, including 68 percent of Independents, oppose the Paul resolution. Please vote no. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator's time has expired. The Senator from Kentucky.
