Political Quotes

“The National Defense Authorization Act, NDAA, is bipartisan legislation that our Nation has depended upon for decades to support our servicemembers and military families. In its entire history, the NDAA has been vetoed only four times. By vetoing it last week, the President has made history and, as The Washington Post has identified, ``not in a good way.'' I am grateful for the leadership of the House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry and Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain as Congress works to fulfill its highest constitutional duty to provide for our common defense to protect American families from attacks with worldwide conflicts at record levels. As a grateful father of four sons currently serving in the military and as a 31-year Army veteran myself, I know firsthand the importance of the NDAA to promote peace through strength. The NDAA is and always has been bipartisan legislation because the safety of American families is more important than partisan politics. I encourage all Members of Congress to unite on voting to override the President's veto. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and the President by his actions must never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________”
