Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, there has been a lot of discussion this morning about the HEROES Act as a political agenda. It is an agenda for the people of this country, providing economic relief to families who are suffering with direct cash payments, providing resources to protect our heroes on the front lines who are risking their lives to protect us, providing desperately needed money to cities and States to protect against tax increases at the State and local level to make up for revenue losses, expanding testing and treatment to defeat this pandemic, supporting hospitals at the center of this crisis, and rental and mortgage assistance for those struggling with these payments. So the question is: This the agenda for the people. The real question is why is it not your agenda? This is about responding in a comprehensive way to the hurt and devastation this pandemic is causing. You ought to join us in this effort. The American people need action now, and they need your support on this legislation. Vote ``yes'' on the HEROES Act.”
