Political Quotes

On the recordMay 4, 1994
which Constitution will be uphold today in the U.S. Congress: the Constitution that said Jeffrey Dahmer, Richard Speck, Charles Manson are innocent until proven guilty; or today do we uphold the IRS constitution that says the PTA president, the teacher, the engineer, the truck driver, the housewife, mom and dad are guilty, considered guilty for tax fraud and tax evasion and they have to prove themselves innocent? Shame, Congress, shame; there is only one Constitution. If it is good enough for the Son of Sam, it should be good enough for mom and dad. H.R. 3261, the Constitution says you are innocent until proven guilty. Congress, do your job.
