Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, today, we commemorate the murder by the Cuban regime of three U.S. citizens and one U.S. resident: Carlos Costa, Armando Alejandre, Mario de la Pena, and Pablo Morales. Nineteen years ago today, the Castro brothers ordered the shoot-down of the civilian Brothers to the Rescue plane and blew them out of the sky over international air space during an unarmed, humanitarian mission. These volunteers were devoted to searching the Straits of Florida to aid those who risked their lives on rafts to flee the oppressive yoke of the Castro regime that continues to rule over the island. It is shameful that this same regime that is responsible for killing these innocent heroes is now sitting across the table from U.S. Government officials and will be hosted by our own Department of State later this week--not a proud week for strong American values, Mr. Speaker. ____________________”
