Kate Stahl is a true American patriot. Once in a while you meet some people like this; and you just say again, as Ronald Reagan said, people who say there are no more American heroes, they do not know where to look. We met an American hero today. Her name is Kate Stahl. I want every Member of Congress to get a copy of last week's edition of the U.S. News and World Report, and there is a special report by Susan Brink, the title of which is 'Health on the Border, Elderly Americans head north and south to find drugs they can afford.' It features Kate Stahl who works with the Senior Federation in the State of Minnesota. The caption above her little picture here says, 'I'd like nothing better than to be thrown in jail.' She stands on the shoulders of the Sons of Liberty who threw tea in Boston Harbor and said, enough is enough. She calls herself a drug runner. She goes to Canada to buy drugs for her friends.
