Political Quotes

“let me say in response to my friend and colleague and chairman from the State of Vermont, Senator Patrick Leahy has written an amazing record in the Senate. Time after time when I would look for those issues that touched my heart or defined it, Pat Leahy had arrived there first a long time ago. On the issue of landmines, a scourge across the world, Pat Leahy was a leader in the United States in defying his own party's administration in begging for the United States to join with other civilized nations around the world in banning landmines. The Patrick Leahy War Victims Fund that is part of this legislation is an effort to say something very simple but very true to the rest of the world; that is, that we care. It is money that is given in the name of a Senator who has proven in his decades of public service that he does care.”
