Political Quotes

“the world needs a new moral vision. America needs a new vision. We are seeing militarism erode the soul of our Nation, leading to a regime change war in Iran and utter human devastation in Gaza. Simply put, we have lost our way. We are back to the law of the jungle, where might makes right and where the Middle East descends into a Hobbesian war of all against all. President Eisenhower warned that every warship built, every bomb deployed, every missile launched is a hospital and school forgone. A world in arms, he said, is stealing the hopes of our children. Today, this vote on Iran is not a procedural vote. It is a profoundly moral vote. It is a vote to direct our resources toward healing our own people, toward healthcare that saves lives, jobs that restore dignity, and housing that shelters families instead of raining destruction on other nations. It is a vote to renew an America that leads once more through diplomacy, statesmanship, and principle, an America that strives to end cycles of violence rather than ignite them, an America that cooperates with other nations rather than bullying them into submission, an America committed to confronting child poverty, the climate crisis, and illiteracy, to advance our shared humanity, an America that is respected in the world again. The world needs an America that finds its moral center, Mr. Speaker. Let us rise to this historic challenge.”
