Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, as the song goes, if there is something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call? If there is something weird and it don't look good, who you gonna call? Mr. Speaker, don't call Ghostbusters. Call the police. Mr. Speaker, I rise during National Police Week to salute the brave patriots who keep America safe. I want to share my appreciation to members of our law enforcement community--our officers, deputies, and troopers, and especially the families of those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others. It takes courage to wear a badge. It takes even more courage to respond to an emergency, to step into harm's way, to face dangerous uncertainty. For our police, it is just part of the job. Unfortunately, our law enforcement community doesn't get the recognition and the respect that they deserve. So on behalf of a grateful nation, I want to say two words our incredibly brave patriots don't hear enough: Thank you. I thank them for protecting our families and communities. I thank them for their service. As Representative for Florida's Fourth Congressional District, I want our law enforcement officers to know we salute them. We will always back the blue. ____________________”
