Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker and Members, I am worried about this Congress, and the American people had better pay attention. This Congress is rushing to pass a constitutional amendment to balance the budget, and most people do not have any idea how their lives are going to be impacted by this vote. Did you understand the words of the Members who came before me when they talked about Social Security and the fact that it could be on the chopping block? But let us not dwell on that, as bad as that could be. I want to talk about a children's program today. I want to talk about Head Start, that program which has proven to be an excellent program, that gives little children a head start, that gets them involved with education, that helps introduce them to books, that builds self-esteem. It is in rural communities. It is in urban communities. It is for the working class. This is a program that could be cut, that could be eliminated. American people, get involved and understand what is about to happen.”
