Political Quotes

“In October of 2009, the Obama administration reversed the policies of both President Clinton and President Bush by committing the United States to U.N. Arms Trade Treaty negotiations. Since then, Members of the House and Senate have voiced their strong opposition.

I encourage my colleagues in the Senate to stand strong in their opposition. ____________________”
