Political Quotes

“I come from a part of this country where my constituents are real down-to-earth people, commonsense people. We want a good education for our kids, we want Medicare and Social Security for our seniors, and we want the Buffalo Bills to continue their winning streak. But more than anything, we want to get our people back to work--for our kids who thought a college education was the ticket to a good job, for our veterans who stepped out of line to go fight and protect us who now find themselves in the unemployment line, and for middle managers who thought they were set for life until the day the pink slip showed up on their desk and turned their lives upside down. We all know we have to get this country back to work. We need to pass the American Jobs Act to do just that. Just 24 hours ago, Democrats and Republicans stood shoulder to shoulder on the steps of this Capitol, united in remembrance of 10 years ago, the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Why can't we stand together again and do what's right for the American people, Democrats and Republicans shoulder to shoulder? If we get the job done here, people out there will get jobs. ____________________”
