Dick Durbin said "No one was injured in the house of Elian Gonzalez's relatives in Miami. Thank God. But kids are injured every day across America. Twelve children are killed every day across America because of gun violence, and this Republican majority, which has this passion to investigate, ought to have the passion to legislate, to pass laws to make America safer. I would like to see some proportionality in the way they respond to the real issues facing American families." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
