Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to address this House to salute Assistant Democratic Leader Joe Neguse. Today was a historic day as we sat on this very floor at 8 a.m. today for Kids Congress. Today, we had children from preschool to high school, and from California to New York to Columbus, Ohio. My grandchildren were able to sit here and hear about this amazing gallery that we sit in, this Chamber. Leah, 10 years old, and Spencer, 9 years old, sat here with Congressman Joe Neguse's daughter, young Natalie. Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi reminded us that the time has found us. She talked about Abraham Lincoln and the jacket that he wore with that pin that she wears that was inscribed and monogrammed in his jacket: ``One Country, One Destiny.'' Madam Speaker, today, this House Chamber could learn a lot from what Kids Congress did today. They practiced civility, respect, and decorum for this Chamber. So let today be a day that we are proud of, and maybe we too could emulate Kids Congress. ____________________”
