Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, this has been one of the most productive sessions of the U.S. House in modern history. In less than 2 years, under Democratic leadership, the House has passed more than 600 pieces of legislation responding to the urgent priorities of the American people. We have passed bills for the people, cracking down on corruption, driving down healthcare costs, and raising wages for workers. Many of these bills are bipartisan. All are commonsense approaches for delivering results for working people. But roughly 400 of these bills have been buried in Mitch McConnell's legislative graveyard. He won't even give them a vote. His sole purpose, it seems, is to pack the Federal judiciary with rightwing judges who will rip away healthcare from 20 million people and eliminate protections for people with preexisting conditions. This is no way to run a democracy. The American people deserve better. That is why House Democrats will keep fighting for the people until these bills become law. ____________________”
