Political Quotes

On the recordSeptember 11, 2012
As we mark yet another anniversary of a September morning that dawned just as any other, we are first and foremost called to remember; but as we remember the fear and the grief of a day born of unfathomable hate, we remember, too, the impossible heroism of so many of our fellow Americans. We remember the firefighters and the police officers who ran into the burning buildings to get others out. We remember the brave men and women of Flight 93, who, in learning of the attacks throughout the country, decided they would give their lives that others might live. We remember those early days when we came out of our homes and joined together with our neighbors, with flags and candles, united as one American family and when bitter political adversaries stood on the steps of this Capitol and put their arms around each other and sang ``God Bless America.'' But we shouldn't have to look back to feel that again. For the sake of those who died, for the sake of all those living and for all those yet to be born, let's come together in this House. Let's not be the do- nothing Congress. In honor of all Americans, let's come together and work for the good of this country. ____________________
