Political Quotes

On the recordMay 22, 2013
I would like today to be able to begin with a quote: We are tired of waiting, and we believe the time has come to make the final decision on one of the most important projects to unlock the energy future for this country, the Keystone XL pipeline. Mr. Speaker, this quote is not from an energy titan. It comes from Sean McGarvey of the AFL-CIO. The time has come for America and North America to be able to seek and achieve energy self-sufficiency. This is part of the solution. Americans are tired of not planning for the future. We need to unleash that potential to be able to put our people back to work. The time has come. The time is now. Let's get America back to work. Let's create energy security right here on this continent. ____________________

I would like to encourage you and the Administration to continue those policies that are creating opportunity for so many Americans, and to reject those that are going to be seeking to be able to redistribute income.
