Also, I say to my friend, I spoke very briefly this morning about another crisis we tend not to focus on, but in this bill there is $475 million to help people with AIDS. I say to my friend, as I said earlier, 7,000 people are dying every day in Africa because of AIDS. We have money in this bill to help that plague." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
