Political Quotes

“We have been convinced the family farmers are so important, agricultural interests are so important to this country, we all support an emergency Agriculture bill. That is why all 51 on this side of the aisle support this bill. We want to move it quickly. If there is something wrong with it, I have enough confidence in the legislative process, and I recognize the President will be involved in it, that a different product will come back than what we pass. We are not being allowed to pass anything out of here. That is a shame. It hurts the institution. It hurts the legislative process. Most of all, I am convinced after 3 days of debate, the family farms, the agricultural interests in the country are being hurt, and hurt badly, and some irreparably damaged if we do not pass this legislation by this coming Friday or Saturday.”
