Political Quotes

“I thank Chairwoman Maloney for her leadership. Madam Speaker, I am proud to speak in strong support of the Delivering for America Act. I have been here on the floor listening to this debate, and I have heard several of my Republican colleagues describe this as a manufactured crisis. Tell that to my constituents. Tell that to Kelsey, a small business owner in Loveland, Colorado, who is worried about her ability to get packages delivered on time to her customers because of delays at the Postal Service. Manufactured crisis? Tell that to Marsha, my constituent in Boulder, who depends on mail-order prescriptions, which this month took nearly 2 weeks to arrive. This is not a manufactured crisis. There is a real crisis at the Postal Service under this Postmaster General, and we, here in the House, strive to fix it. That is why I am a strong supporter of the bill that is before the House today, ultimately to ensure that the current standards of the Postal Service are protected and provide $25 billion in emergency funding. Let us get this done for the American people. {time} 1630”
