Political Quotes

“we are making history today in the Senate because this is the first global warming bill that has reached the floor for a full debate and vote. Congress has, in the past, as we know, considered symbolic global warming legislation, but this is the first time that we are working on the details--how to create a national policy to slow, stop, and reverse the catastrophic global warming that we see across the world. At the same time, this legislation and this debate could not be more important to our economy and our national security. This bill is very simple. There is a lot of complexity to it, obviously, but at its core it is very simple. It is about creating jobs, first of all; it is about protecting God's creation; and it is also about enhancing our national security and, indeed, the world's security. It is not a perfect bill, but it is a good bill on which to build a national program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
