Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. I thank my colleague and friend, Jim McGovern, also for calling this bill to my attention last week. He pointed this out to me, and I say that Republicans support good government solutions that prevent waste, while also providing for those most in need. Today's legislation is the embodiment of commonsense solutions. It provides the assurance many Americans need to guarantee they are protected when giving to those in need. Our laws should be promoting charity and generosity, not curtailing it. There is no reason to let food go to waste when we can get it to those families most in need. This bipartisan, bicameral legislation will get food to the hungry, and it does so without adding to the taxpayers' tab. This is a win-win. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes,'' and I yield back the balance of my time.”
