Political Quotes

“with this vote of resolve and unity, we become stewards of the American values expressed so eloquently 40 years ago by a new President, John F. Kennedy, ``Let every Nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.'' Today a new President and a new generation are handed the torch of liberty that has been kept alight by the untold sacrifices of past generations of Americans. Those terrorists who now challenge the will and values of this generation of Americans will soon find out that the awesome power of our military might well be matched only by our tenacious national unity in defending Americans' life and liberty. In this vote and in our prayers, we in Congress speak for the American family, in strong support of our Commander in Chief and say, yes, we too will ``pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship,'' and ``oppose any foe'' to protect our land of liberty.”
