Political Quotes

On the recordSeptember 11, 2001
from the 23rd Psalm, ``though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me.'' God has blessed this Nation to be the most free, the most caring, and the most prosperous Nation in the world's history. But, as the Chaplain prayed, we seek peace and security through justice; and, I will add, justice will prevail. God will continue to bless this Nation. Let us all fly our flags and renew our pledge to be one Nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all. God bless this House, God bless this President, and God bless the United States of America.
