Political Quotes

“I rise today to honor several organizations and individuals in my congressional district who have done an extraordinary job of serving our communities. It is my pleasure to recognize Marilyn Adamo, Monsignor Emilio Vallina, the Brickell Homeowners Association, John ``Footy'' Cross, Steve Safron, Davrye Gibson-Smith and the Miami Heat basketball team, Norman Lipoff, Johnathan Mayer, and Debra Berger, just a few shining examples of what altruism and selflessness are all about. For example, Marilyn Adamo, working through Protect America's Children, should be commended for her work on passage of the Jennifer Act, a law protecting children against crimes and abductions. The Jennifer Act authorizes the police and prosecutors to apprehend and to convict child stalkers and sexual predators before the child's physical safety is irreversibly placed in harm's way. The law makes any credible threat or intentional stalking of children under 16 years of age a third degree felony.”
