Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the St. Mary's basketball team of Moraga and their trailblazing NCAA tournament run. They have inspired basketball fans across this country with their teamwork and determination. The St. Mary Gaels earned a berth in the tournament with a remarkable season capped with a west coast championship and their victory in the first round NCAA tournament. They tossed aside a half century of tournament setbacks and showed that they are a force to be reckoned with. In the second round, St. Mary's went head to head with the number two seed, Villanova, a perennial basketball powerhouse, and with a gutsy performance they prevailed. And I will add that many of these young men that are on these teams will be able to stay on their parents' health insurance as a result of the action and the President's signature on the health care bill, up to the age of 26. In the meantime, we look forward to Saturday's game and another victory by these outstanding players. ____________________”
