Political Quotes

“in Tennessee we are called ``volunteers,'' and that is for good reason because when our Nation is in need, our State responds. And such is the case we see this week and over the past several days as those who are the victims, the evacuees, from Hurricane Katrina have needed our help. Our Nation and our State have responded. This headline in the Williamson AM pretty much says it: ``Whatever we can do.'' And that is the way the people of Tennessee have responded, opening their churches, opening their homes, opening town halls to help those who are in need of supplies, in need of schooling for children, in need of a place to live, food to eat. I want to say thank you to all of those volunteers who have risen to the occasion in Tennessee, and I thank the volunteers all across the Nation who have responded to those who have found themselves in need because of the storm that we experienced last week. ____________________”
