Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor one of the Bucks County Bar Association's most ardent supporters, my dear friend, Tom Mellon. Tom is known by many around the country for his passion and commitment to the law, but is equally known in the Bucks County area as a dedicated civil servant who has spent his entire life giving back to the community. I've known Tom for many years, and although we come from different party backgrounds, it has never gotten in the way of our friendship. Our shared values have always trumped politics. First and foremost, Tom is a family man. He's a loyal husband to Sara and a dedicated father to four sons, Thomas, Christopher, Ryan and Henry. Tom is also one of the friendliest people you will ever meet. He has a genuine personality and a warm welcoming demeanor, which have served him well throughout his career. Tom always seems to carry with him an inner Irish spirit. From day one he has championed the underdog and the downtrodden, which is truly an admirable quality. Throughout the course of his legal career, Tom has been the David to many a corporation's Goliath, taking on Big Tobacco, multiple pharmaceutical companies, and even global terrorists. He never waivers in his dedication to his clients or to his cause. His cases are taken not necessarily because he knows he can win, but because morally they are the right thing to do. Tom is truly an inspiration to many young, aspiring attorneys who want to change the world. He has been to me.…”
