Political Quotes

On the recordJune 30, 2010
Over the past 6 weeks, more than 1 million Americans have demanded action, and House Republicans have listened. Unfortunately, the majority in the House has not. While there are many issues that these people in this body disagree on, there are some issues that we should all agree on. We should agree that skyrocketing debt is a priority. We should agree that we cannot continue spending money that we don't have. We should agree that it is wrong for taxpayers to pay for the salaries of employees who answer to unions instead of to the American people, and we should agree on this very simple bill that says union activities should be funded by unions. I urge my colleagues to stand with the American people, to vote to save $1.2 billion and to end the abuse of taxpayer money.
