Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the AIDS Foundation of Chicago for 25 years of service to the people of Chicago, Cook County, and the State of Illinois. The foundation has served as the center of AIDS and HIV services in the Chicago metropolitan area and has been a leading advocate of sound policies and legislation in Illinois and Washington. The foundation has raised and disseminated millions of dollars in grants for prevention, care, and advocacy in underserved communities. Praised as a national model of coordinated case management and supportive housing services, many look to the foundation as a way to do business. The AIDS Foundation is the kind of community-based, people- oriented organization that makes America great. Thanks to CEO Mark Ishaug and to all the staff, volunteers, and board for being a beacon of hope in the fight against AIDS and HIV. ____________________”
