Political Quotes

“My bill and Congressman Meek's bill was a good bill last Congress, and it is a good bill this Congress because it has not changed at all. It has not changed at all. To quote it, she urged the Senate to ``quickly adopt the Mortgage Choice Act,'' a bill that would ``improve access to credit'' and ``enhance competition among title insurance providers.'' Frankly, Mr. Speaker, my colleague was right last time, and she should be right in this Congress. Unfortunately, we are seeing that--I am afraid politics may have leaked in. The administration has issued a veto threat, and I think we may have seen why some of this change of heart has happened. I am, frankly, disheartened for the American people that Presidential politics have already leaked into what this body should be doing, which is representing people, which is making sure that they are getting the best end of the stick, not the sharp end of the stick.

It is our job to go and fix it and to make sure that the consumers, that our constituents, are getting the best service that they possibly can. With that, Mr. Speaker, I would like to urge all of my colleagues to join so many of us in a bipartisan fashion who support this bill, who believe that this is the right time and the right bill to rectify this problem, and to get on with it. I request all of my colleagues to support H.R. 685.…”
