Political Quotes

“Mr. Chairman, I stand today in support of House Concurrent Resolution 42. Probably one of the most significant moments of my life was when, back in December of 1997, I went over to Bosnia with the President. There I saw our troops. When we arrived in Bosnia at about 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning, thousands of people had stood all night just to simply say thank you for saving our lives. Thank you for giving us our lives for Christmas. The President is right. We have to act. We cannot just stand aside and allow lives to be lost. The fact is that we have a duty, and we must fulfill that duty. Lest we forget, let us not turn a blind eye. Remember the Holocaust, remember South Africa, remember Rwanda. Our Nation is a very, very powerful nation. The fact is, is that we have to stand up and bring peace and bring life to life. So I stand in support of House Concurrent Resolution 42 and urge all of my colleagues to vote for it.”
