Political Quotes

“the recent kidnappings of over 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria by Boko Haram, a terrorist organization whose name translates to ``Western education is sinful,'' has captured the world's attention and stirred global outrage. These girls were abducted from their classrooms at gunpoint and their captors are now reportedly threatening to sell them into child marriages and slavery. The Senate unanimously approved a resolution condemning Boko Haram for kidnapping these young girls and terrorizing the people of Nigeria, and Secretary of State John Kerry has publicly condemned the kidnappings, calling them an ``unconscionable crime'' and pledging our assistance. Such inhumanity simply cannot be tolerated. As a nation, we must do all that we can to assist the people of Nigera and help them find these missing children. Our thoughts and prayers are with them, and I am hopeful they will be reunited with their families soon. ____________________”
