Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, the COVID-19 pandemic has devastated our country for 9 months now. More than 15 million Americans have been infected. Nearly 300,000 are dead. Our economy is on the ropes. Folks are struggling just to get by, and Democrats have been trying to pass a relief package for months. Last week, Republicans finally met us at the table to negotiate a solution. We need to get this deal done. It must address the urgent needs of the American people by providing direct cash payments for working families; stronger unemployment payments; relief for cities and towns; new resources for the frontline workers who are keeping our communities safe; and funding for testing, vaccines, hospitals, and community health centers so we can end this pandemic and get back to our lives. The American people sent us here to work for them. They have waited for far too long for Congress to pass a new relief package. Let's get this done on their behalf and let's not leave Washington until we do. ____________________”
