Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise to stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine in the face of unprovoked Russian invasion. Vladimir Putin's war has sent millions of Ukrainians fleeing, and he is now targeting civilian populations, schools, and hospitals. Economic sanctions have begun to cripple their economy. Private- sector companies have also isolated Russia from many aspects of the 21st century economy. But unfortunately, all economic leverage has not been utilized. We must do more. I do not support sending American troops into this conflict. However, America can demonstrate leadership by cutting off our purchases of Russian oil. But just like on many other aspects of this crisis, President Biden is playing catch-up. He has yet to take the commonsense step of stopping American financing of Russia's oil economy. Now more than ever, we should be massively increasing domestic oil production. But President Biden is more focused on pandering to his far-left environmental base than making America energy independent from an enemy. We must stop financing Russia's war on Ukraine. President Biden must act. ____________________”
