Political Quotes

“on Sunday evenings I usually do a radio show called ``Talking to the People'' with a co-host, Garfield Major; and on last evening, we were supposed to have a guest, a young lady who was going to be with us. But then, of course, during the week she passed away, and we decided that we would dedicate the show in her memory. Her funeral is going to take place on Thursday of this week, and I simply want to say to the family of Evelyn Spivery and all of the people who worked with her that we share with them in their grief and sorrow at her early and untimely death. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to lend my support to and talk about an issue that is important to all of America, and that is the issue of a patients' bill of rights. Not just any patients' bill of rights, but I support the patients' bill of rights sponsored by my colleagues Mr. McCain, Mr. Kennedy, and Mr. Edwards in the Senate, and the companion legislation sponsored by the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Ganske) and the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Dingell) here in the House. I support the patients' bill of rights that puts patients before profits, and values human life over the bottom line.”
