Political Quotes

“I thank my friend, Congressman Franks of Arizona, for his powerful statement. Not to speak is to speak. Of all people in the body, I think that is a marked tribute to the Congressman who has worked tirelessly and spoken out on behalf of the protection of innocent persons. Now I want to turn to my good friend, Congressman Juan Vargas from California, who as well has helped in an extraordinary way to further not only this cause, but, again, trying to elevate the nobility of the ideal that we should all be united in mind, heart, and spirit if we are going to be persons who respect the rules of law, the standards for international order, or, more basically, our need for one another. I am so grateful for your willingness to speak out on a whole host of issues, and thank you for coming tonight, Congressman Vargas.”
