Joseph Pitts actually said...

"Hon. Joseph R. Pitts, a Representative in Congress from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, opening statement."

"I have to say I am disappointed. This budget does not balance. Ever."

"This is in direct violation of federal law under the Weldon amendment and a direct assault on conscience rights."

"I believe Congress and the Administration have a moral responsibility and duty to solve the problems before they fail the millions of people who depend on them."
