Political Quotes

“Last month we lost a great American, Christopher Reeve. Since a riding accident left him paralyzed from the neck down, Christopher Reeve has been an inspiration to all Americans, particularly to those living with paralysis as a result of spinal cord injury. In the years following his accident, Christopher Reeve made tremendous progress. He regained sensation and movement in some parts of his body and was able to breathe for periods of time without a ventilator. Watching Christopher Reeve achieve these milestones gave hope to individuals with spinal cord injuries, their families, researchers and just about everyone. We lost Christopher Reeve, but we cannot lose sight of his dream for a cure. We must do everything we can to ensure that Federal researchers have the tools they need to further advance paralysis research, and to ultimately find a cure. I am pleased that today we are honoring the legacy of Christopher Reeve by passing the Research Review Act.”
