Political Quotes

“Congressman Bill Natcher was ramrod straight, both in physical appearance and the conduct of his office. He was an example of what a Congressman should be. His natural reserve and formality added to his aura of stature and rectitude. He did more for the poor and despised of our country through his always effective leadership as chairman of the Subcommittee on Health and Human Services of the Appropriations Committee than anyone I can imagine. It was impossible to say ``no'' to Bill Natcher. He always defended the unborn, even when it was unpopular with many of his colleagues. There are literally millions of people alive today because Bill Natcher would not let them be aborted. To call a political figure great is by now a cliche. There are so few truly great people. But by any standard, Bill Natcher was great. I have been blessed to know and work with him.”
