Political Quotes

“I again commend Senator Collins for her really strong leadership of our subcommittee in so many consumer protection measures. This is just the latest of many on which Senator Collins has been the leader. That leadership is critically important to the American people. I commend her on it. I also want to single out Senator Edwards. He made a major contribution to this bill by making it possible for people who no longer want to receive these sweepstakes to call a phone number to stop the deluge of mail which is received in so many homes. As in so many other areas, he is already making a great contribution to this Senate. I especially thank him for his contribution to this bipartisan bill. That part of this bill is a very important part. It is a very creative part of the bill. Again, it makes it possible, in a very practical way, for people who get sick and tired of the swamping of their mailboxes with these sweepstakes offers, to end that. This bill attempts to end these sweepstakes swindles which are swamping our Nation.”
