Political Quotes

“10 months ago, I came to Washington, D.C., as the new employee of 705,000 people in western Pennsylvania. Before I came to Washington, I heard about inside deals that happened in this town. I saw some of these deals when President Obama cut special breaks for Big Business and Senators and Representatives. What the President left out was a break for the American people. It's just not fair. It's an outrage. Western Pennsylvanians are right frustrated with Washington, D.C. It seems that Harry Reid and the Senate are intent on keeping the government shut down so they can protect the special breaks they cut for themselves and for their friends and allies. Mr. Speaker, I'm here to deliver a message from my constituents to the Senate: no special deals. If Big Business and President Obama's friends get a break from the health care law, then so should individuals and families in western Pennsylvania and around the Nation. It's time for the Senate to embrace fairness for all. It's time to reopen the government. ____________________”
