Political Quotes

“our Contract With America says that on the first day of Congress a Republican House will force Congress to live under the same laws as everyone else; second, that we would cut one-third of the committee staff; and third, that we would cut the congressional budget. We did all of that on the opening day last week. In the next 94 days we will vote on the following 10 items: A balanced budget amendment and line item veto; a new crime bill to stop violent criminals; welfare reform that encourages work and not dependence; family reinforcement to crack down on deadbeat dads and protect our children; tax cuts for families; national security restoration to protect our freedoms; the Senior Citizens Equity Act to allow older Americans to return to work without Government penalty; Government regulation and unfunded mandate reforms; commonsense legal reform to end frivolous lawsuits; and congressional term limits to make Congress a citizen legislature once again. Mr. Speaker, this is our Contract With America. We mean what we say. Watch what we do.”
