Political Quotes

“I cannot think of another resolution, another matter before this body in the last few months or years that is more important than this resolution, the Payne resolution. We have at this time an opportunity to stand up for justice and to stand up for peace and to stand up for what is right. We have an opportunity at this time to stop the genocide that is occurring in the Sudan. We cannot afford to allow this genocide that is occurring in the Sudan to continue. We must rise up to the occasion. We must forget about those partisan things that divide us. We must come together as a body, as a Congress, indeed, as a nation; and we must show the world the way to eliminate the kind of racial and religious hatred that exists in this world. The future of this nation, the future of this world is at stake, because if we allow genocide to occur in the Sudan, if we do not do anything about it, then... genocide will occur in almost any place throughout this world. We have an opportunity and we have an obligation. Let us not fail the people of the world.”
