Political Quotes

“I rise today with the rest of my colleagues to condemn the terrorist attack on the United States and to express my sympathy to the victims of this horrific action. The destruction of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was a frontal assault on the United States, our people, and our way of life. Democracy and freedom will not yield to these cowardly acts. I have great faith in the citizens of this country, and the heroic and selfless acts witnessed in response to this tragedy are a testament to the strength of the American people. We stand here today to further demonstrate the resolve of this great nation. The government is functioning normally, and Congress is in session. We come together today, Democrats and Republicans, to send the unmistakable message to the world that this country will not give in to terrorism. We will support the President and authorize any action necessary--employing all of the resources at the disposal of the U.S. government--to identify, track down, and bring to justice the perpetrators of this despicable act. My prayers are with the victims and their families, as they deal with the impact of their loss.”
