Political Quotes

“In Nevada, the State legislature, last session, had a debate on whether or not they would have primary seatbelt requirements for the people of Nevada. They did something interesting. The State now has a law that requires seatbelts for children but not for adults. I think this is pretty compromising. I could go for something like that--that there could be a requirement that States have a mandate that children have to wear seatbelts. The State of Nevada debated this and, as far as adults, it failed. So I ask you to consider amending the matter now before the Senate to have a requirement for children. I think that is something that would be accepted. I think the debate would be very short and to the point. I think if he proceeds on his requirement to have seatbelts mandated for everyone, States that are individualistic, such as Nevada--the State of Nevada doesn't like to be told what to do. They believe they are a sovereign State and the legislature meets and debates these issues.”
