Political Quotes

“I want to thank my colleague from Texas (Mr. Culberson) for organizing and conducting this Special Order tonight to honor our law enforcement personnel. I do my best every time I see someone in law enforcement to say thank you. I go out of my way to say thank you. I point out to them, whether they are local, State, or national people in law enforcement, that we owe to them and to our military people the ability that we have to move around this country and do the things that we do every day because of their willingness to serve and to put their lives on the line every single day of their lives. We have seen, unfortunately, in the past few weeks a spate of senseless killings of our wonderful law enforcement people. And I think it is wonderful, again, that my colleagues are here tonight to say thank you. I want to encourage them, also--and I know many do--to say thank you to our law enforcement people every day as they go about protecting us, our families. I want to thank their families, also, for the sacrifices they make. Thank you, Congressman Culberson, for your efforts. {time} 2015”
