Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 21, 2010
Today I stand for the people of Michigan who lost their insurance when they lost their jobs--they've been dropped and denied coverage by insurance companies for preexisting conditions or because they got sick--and are going broke because of their medical bills. I stand for the elderly in my district who fall into the doughnut hole and must choose between food and medicine, and I stand for small businesses who plead for help to put an end to double-digit premium increases that make them choose between jobs and health care. All of these things will end with the passage of this bill. The question of the day is: Whose side are you on? I'm on the people's side, not on the side of the powerful special interests who've spent millions to kill this bill. Cutting through all of the deception, misrepresentation, and lies, I stand with the people. I urge you to do what's right and vote ``yes.``
