Mike Kelly said "I would hate to be in the position where I tell every American: You know what? We know how to spend the money better than you. We will make the decisions of how it gets doled out. In your heart of hearts, when you want to give to a charitable organization, forget it. We will make that decision. Send the money to Washington, because we have done such a wonderful job with it. No, my friends, that is not America. That is not who we are. That is not who we will ever be. That is not the fabric of this great Nation. So I ask you to look past your political ambitions and beating each other up, and look at what is good policy for every single American. I urge the passage of this bill." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
