Political Quotes

“This recession is a national recession, but you feel it in every town, in every community, in every city where mayors and Governors out there--Democrats and Republicans--are fighting every day to bring vitality back to their communities. This bill has the potential to help them, to be some wind under their wings and to get this job done. So I am proud to have the thousands of mayors in our country who have stepped up to support this legislation. I am also proud to have almost 28, if not 30, Governors who have written personally, sometimes numerous letters, to say they support this legislation. ... But this Congress should act and we should act now--in the next 24 hours.”
