Marsha Blackburn said "I find it very interesting, Mr. Speaker. When I am talking to my local law enforcement community, when I am talking to my local broadcasters, they are much in opposition to what we hear being expressed as the opinion of the national organizations. But isn't that the way it goes on issue after issue? You have got the D.C. way and then you have got, as we say, the Tennessee way. The local way. And your local broadcasters have committed incredible resources to this. They have worked with their communities. Seniors are prepared. We know that according to Nielsen. Seniors are more prepared than just about anybody for this." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
