Marsha Blackburn said "And before that, the votes were not recorded and it was the process. That is why I say we are returning to the way we were, the way they were. And it is different from the way business was conducted from 1995 until now. And I think that is an important distinction for our constituents who have stopped us on the campaign trail and stopped us as we have prepared to come in and take our solemn oath of office today and have said we want to be certain that this Congress is going to function in an open, accountable manner. We want to know what is happening in the people's House, and it is your charge to keep with us to keep us informed." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
