Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, the time has come for the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, to make a decision. Madam Speaker, 2 years ago, the Russian Army, at the direction of Vladimir Putin, invaded Ukraine, a peaceful Nation, a democratic Nation, an ally of the United States. Putin's missiles rained down on schools and hospitals. His bullets took the lives of children and the elderly. This is not the first time Vladimir Putin has invaded another country, slaughtering thousands of innocent people for no purpose other than his own selfish ambition. If he is allowed to succeed in Ukraine, he will not stop there. We must continue to support Ukraine, not only because it is the right thing to do, but because if the United States abandons Ukraine, we endanger our own national security. After the attacks on this country on September 11, more than 50 nations, including Ukraine and all of our NATO allies, came to America's defense in the war on terror. The strength of our military is multiplied by the strength of our alliances, and if we turn our backs on our ally, we weaken ourselves. This week, the Senate passed a bill that will give Ukraine the supplies and ammunition it needs to win the war. Now, the decision and the fate of millions rests with just one man, the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. We know what will happen if Speaker Mike Johnson calls a vote on Ukraine funding. The bill will pass the House by an overwhelming margin. This is undisputed.…”
