Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I rise today to speak about an urgent issue that faces the American people, and it is an issue the Senate as well as the House must deal with, in my judgment; that is, the issue of extending COBRA premium assistance, health insurance assistance, to many Americans who, through no fault of their own, are out of work; in many instances, millions of Americans who have been out of work for a long time. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to add the following Senators as cosponsors of an amendment I have that extends COBRA premium assistance. These are Senators who will be added beyond those who were original cosponsors. They are Senators Franken, Stabenow, Reed of Rhode Island, and Gillibrand. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.”
