Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, today I rise in support of the brave Iranian protestors who are fighting against barbaric forces of immorality. During his 1967 inaugural address as Governor of California, Ronald Reagan said that ``Freedom is a fragile thing, and it is never more than one generation away from extinction.'' Iranian protestors have based this revolution on three principles: women, life, and freedom, all of which America has rightfully championed. With a considerable population of Iranian Americans in New York's Third Congressional District, let America serve as a Democratic beacon of light for the Iranian men and women who are fighting abroad. I acknowledge Representative Tenney, who introduced a House concurrent resolution commending the bravery of the men and women of Iran. I declare, with every bullet and with every act of violence imposed by the Iranian government, comes a call for us to condemn their actions and urge the Biden administration to take far greater actions than mere sanctions to address the countless murders and examples of senseless brutality. ____________________”
