Political Quotes

“ever since we passed the President's budget last year, the American people have been clamoring for more budget cuts. Time after time the Congress has rejected budget cuts. They are always too specific or not specific enough. Well, the time has come to separate the sheep from the goats, Madam Speaker, and see who has the guts to make the hard choices to cut our budget.

The people of this country demand real cuts and an end to the good old boy network that is trying to kill A to Z. I call on my colleagues to support responsibility and accountability and sign the A to Z discharge petition.”
