Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 4, 2010
Comprehensive health care reform must remain an urgent priority of the 111th Congress. But before we move forward on the path to health care reform and the many other critical issues that demand our attention, I respectfully submit that the Senate--and by that I mean each individual Senator-- must pause to answer this question: Will the majority and minority walk that path together and work together on the business of the people we represent or will the people we represent watch the Senate that belongs to them revert to the calculated, politically polarizing standoff that has alienated the country during these past few months?
