Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, today the House will debate the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2013. The House Armed Services Committee approved this bipartisan bill last week by a vote of 56 5. Earlier this year, the administration announced an increase in the TRICARE enrollment fees by up to 345 percent. As chairman of the Subcommittee on Military Personnel, I am pleased the committee refused to authorize a provision to forward the administration's unfair proposal, which would destroy jobs. Our brave men and women in uniform and their families have devoted their lives to defend our country. Their service to our Nation should be considered a prepayment of health care benefits and retirement. I urge my colleagues to support this bill and give our military families the fairness they deserve so they can work for peace through strength. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. Welcome to Washington, Realtors and CPAs. ____________________”
