Political Quotes

On the recordNovember 18, 2003
we are quickly approaching a season known for giving thanks and goodwill. Next week is Thanksgiving. Far too often, we fail to recognize those who work year-round to improve the lives of the less fortunate. This Friday, the Golden Harvest Food Bank in Augusta, Georgia, will celebrate the successful conclusion of its $2 million ``Feed the People'' capital campaign. Through business and community generosity, Golden Harvest Food Bank will be able to reach nearly 71,000 families every year in its 25-county service area in both Georgia and South Carolina. In this Nation of abundance, some still go without the basics that others of us take for granted. I am thankful that we have individuals who give time, service, and donations to see that these basic needs are met. Mr. Speaker, in this time of giving thanks, let us remember those who worked tirelessly throughout the year to help the less fortunate.
