Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today because I made a promise to Trayvon. I made a promise to his mother. I promised to stand up for Trayvon. I promised that I would rise every day and let the world know how long it has been since he was murdered. Today marks 33 days since Trayvon's death--33 days without justice. I want to let Trayvon know that I'm going home this evening. I'm going home because votes have finished for the week, but I will be back. This vigil will not stop. It will continue every day. Every day the House is in recess, I will tweet the world and update on how many days have passed without justice; and this Sunday, I will personally host a rally back home--Trayvon's home--in Miami, Florida. Mr. Speaker, I want Trayvon to know that he is not forgotten. He is missed. He is loved. We will continue to stand up for justice for Trayvon. ____________________”
