Political Quotes

“A great country holds the interests of its children first and foremost. A great country responds to tough times and steep challenges by placing the interests of its children at the head of the line when it comes to advancing measures to help. Today we have a chance to reflect this dimension of America's greatness by passing this bill to extend vital health insurance to 11 million of our kids. We must take this action. Like last year, we will have bipartisan support when it comes to moving this bill forward. But unlike last year, this time our efforts will receive a different reception at the White House. Our prior President vetoed this bill. But we now have a new President. And this bill will be received with a resounding 'yes.' And the effort to get coverage to our children will at last succeed.”
