Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the important work being done by our former First Lady, Michelle Obama, through her Pass the Love campaign. In collaboration with the Partnership for a Healthier America, Mrs. Obama has been on a mission to distribute one million healthy meals to families in need. Last week, we learned that Philadelphia, part of my district, has been selected as the next city for this campaign. Pass the Love will work with Philabundance--a local leader in hunger alleviation--to deliver healthy meal kits to 5,000 families. Over the course of 4 weeks, they will provide 240,000 meals to families experiencing food insecurity. Children in Philadelphia and across America are hungry. Creative initiatives like this one from the former First Lady should be lauded for what they do, but they cannot solve this systemic issue on their own. Our country has every resource required to eradicate hunger. We can and must make the decision to end hunger in America now. ____________________”
