Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 25, 1996
I want to thank the 20 Republicans who signed on to the bipartisan bill and thank all of the Democrats who signed on to the bipartisan bill, thank the thousands of people all over America who have been calling up for campaign finance reform; the League of Women Voters, Public Citizen, United We Stand, Common Cause. And let me just say we will not let this travesty that happened on the floor today hold us back from real campaign finance reform because the torch goes on and we will continue this fight. What we saw on the floor of the House today will result in outrage all across America because Americans are committed to changing the way we finance campaigns in America. So there will be a response, we will be back, and we will have real campaign finance reform after the November elections.
