Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart. I rise to honor the memory of an extraordinary young man who worked in dedicated service at the Democratic National Committee, Seth Conrad Rich. Seth was just 27 years old when he was killed this past weekend in our Nation's Capital, the victim of an unknown shooter. He was a dedicated, selfless public servant, protecting one of our most essential freedoms: the right of all Americans to vote. He carried out this work because he believed that together we could make the world a better place. We were fortunate to know and work with him. Just last Friday, Seth wrote a response on Facebook to the terrible shootings in Dallas. He wrote: Stop hating each other. . . . We have to be better and more true. . . . Please, stop killing each other. I hope the Members of this body will join me in offering our deepest thoughts and prayers to the Rich family today, but thoughts and prayers are simply not enough. In Seth's prescient words: We must stop the hate. We must be better and more true. ____________________”
