Political Quotes

“Indian health deserves this. There is no group of people in America who deserves our attention more than Indians. It is that way with the 22 different organizations in Nevada and all over the country. So I would hope we can work together. I think we have had some success during these first few weeks of this year of Congress. We were at the White House with the President signing the stimulus bill. It is time to celebrate that. Was it everything we wanted? No. But it is good work, and we should all be proud of that. We passed this conference report on intelligence, and the President will have to make a decision on that in the future, as to what he wants to do, but it is out of this body. I hope we could move forward on Indian health. We have been waiting years to direct the attention to them. The attention is now directed, and with the result of what has happened here, we can spend some quality time on this matter. I hope those who wanted to offer amendments will do so. We can work into the night. I hope we can have some votes tonight.”
