Political Quotes

“I thank my friends from New Mexico for the leadership they have shown on this issue. It is a wonderful day to start the debate on this particular issue, the first day of spring. Even though the weatherman has not chosen to cooperate properly in greeting this day for the most part across the country, a little bit colder than usual, the Earth is starting to shed its winter chill and the frost is giving way to the warmth that lives within this great Earth. It is also the time of renewal, when those seeds that have laid in the Earth and those grasses that were dormant, are starting to show some signs of growth. It starts to give the Earth a different hue. It is also a pretty exciting time in livestock agriculture, too, a time for newborn calves and lambs, a special time of the year for those who are attached to the land in a very, very special way. It is a season that also gives us renewal. This transformation that we have, this promise of renewal every spring, every year, this renewable resource that renews itself, happens right before our eyes and it assures us that the future is now and will ever be.”
