Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 2, 1994
this morning in Punxsutawney, PA, a groundhog poked its head out of its hole, saw his shadow, and quickly hid for 6 more weeks of winter. Today my colleagues in Congress will rear their heads out of their offices to find the shadow of regulatory reform at their doorstep. As we debate the EPA elevation bill, will they duck the issue and slide back into their foxholes? Will you, my colleagues, let a little light shine on the issue of risk assessment and allow debate on this important issue in the House of Representatives? Or will you dart back into the darkness and cast a long shadow over the States, cities, businesses, agriculture, and industry? Vote today to end the cold winter at EPA. Vote today to defeat the rule. Vote today to lift the shadow of Government at EPA and bring a little sunshine into the process.
