Political Quotes

“I am here today to speak out against H.R. 1. When Republicans were in the majority, we reserved H.R. 1 for legislation that actually benefited the American people by putting more money in their pockets and growing the economy through the historic tax reform bill passed last year. Now here we are, under a new majority, planning to vote on a bill telling folks that their hard-earned taxpayer dollars will be going to a political candidate that they would never support. This bill goes too far and is nothing more than a power grab from the Democrats to try to ensure one-party rule. This socialist, top-down, one-size-fits-all election system violates States' rights, fails to criminalize fraudulent voter registration, and eliminates every American's constitutional right to free speech under the First Amendment. We do not need the heavy, overreaching hand of the Federal Government corrupting every single election across this great Nation. Madam Speaker, I have said it before and I will say it again: This legislation is not reform for the better, and it is not for the people. ____________________”
