Political Quotes

“Congress and this administration continue pushing a job-killing health care takeover. Brokered in back rooms, the bill includes $518 billion in new job-killing taxes that will hurt small businesses, and squeezing Medicare threatens senior citizens. Backroom deals in Washington is politics at its worst, and it is high time that the American people were given a seat at the negotiations table. The President promised the American people eight different times health care would be public. C-SPAN has offered to broadcast the negotiations. In Politico, former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman highlights Speaker Pelosi's brushoff of the request, saying that the President stood for a number of things while on the campaign trail. I encourage the Speaker to encourage the President to keep his promise of open discussions by letting C-SPAN show the American people what is going on behind closed doors. We need change in Washington. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________”
