Political Quotes

“I have one more question. Does the Senator think we are underestimating in this body--that Senators are underestimating the common sense of the American people; that they know terrorists shouldn't be allowed to have these weapons; that they know it is a danger to our kids, to our families; that we would do great credit to the American people to have faith in them, to believe in them; that they are ready to take these steps; that they are ready to see their Senators take these steps and to stand with us? We all love our children. We all love our families. We all want to make sure that when they go out to be with their friends, they come home safe that night. For all of our families--whether Republican or Democrat--most important, we are not red or blue. We are red, we are white, and we are blue. We are all Americans. We are one team. We are in this together. Doesn't it seem to make sense that we ought to be able to reflect the will of the American people? I think the American people are ready for this. Don't you?”
