Political Quotes

“a Marylander I think expressed the sentiment of all of the people in my district when she said, ``I am thinking about all of the people who died. I don't know the people in New York or the District of Columbia or Pittsburgh, but I feel like they are family.'' Mr. Speaker, they are family; and in times of tragedy, a family grows closer together. We are going to come together. We are going to show our compassion for the victims, rescue who we can, make sure our country is safe, and we are going to find out what happened. We are going to find out who is responsible for these actions; and then as a family united, we are going to take the appropriate steps to bring these people to justice. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the people of the Third Congressional District of Maryland, we stand united with the victims' families and with all Americans in our resolve to make sure that what happened yesterday brings us together and we respond and hold those responsible accountable for their actions.”
