Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, it is time for action. Frankly, it is time that we give a wakeup call to the White House. While steelworkers in Illinois and across this country are losing their jobs, the Clinton administration does nothing. Tonight, the President is in New York spending an evening with the ``limousine liberals,'' and nothing is being done about steel jobs in Illinois. We are losing jobs in Illinois because the Clinton administration is doing nothing. This Congress needs to speak and call for action, because Illinois workers are losing their jobs while Bill Clinton is in New York. Asian countries, the countries of Asia and Russia are dumping steel in Illinois and it is costing Illinois workers their jobs. Steel imports from Japan have doubled, while Bill Clinton sleeps. Steel imports from Korea have gone up 89 percent, while the Clinton administration does nothing. We need action Mr. Speaker. That is why this resolution and that is why this Congress should speak in a bipartisan, unanimous vote telling the Clinton administration get off of its duff and do something and go to work to protect Illinois steel jobs.”
