Political Quotes

“earlier in the 20th century, America was once referred to as a slumbering giant, and was later shocked and angered into a victorious response to the atrocities of the imperial Government of Japan, as well as Nazi Germany. Yesterday, our democracy suffered the 21st century's equivalent of Pearl Harbor, and our shocked and angry Nation stands in strong support of President Bush's efforts and commitment to identify and hold accountable those who initiated, planned, and coordinated this terrorist assault on the American people in New York City and our Nation's Capital. The question today is, Mr. Speaker, have we had enough. The people I represent have made it clear that they support and want appropriate and immediate action. We must identify and destroy the terrorist network wherever it exists. We must move quickly and we must strengthen our intelligent military capabilities. I am committed to working with my colleagues in a nonpartisan partnership with the President to accomplish these goals. America is a great Nation with enduring institutions of freedom that will withstand the onslaughts of the forces of evil. We must stand together. We must be strong. Our freedoms matter. We must protect our freedoms and guarantee the security of our people. God bless America.”
