Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 20, 2003
I think all of us remember the time that we stood together singing ``God bless America'' on the steps of this Capitol, unified in recognizing that what is involved here is bigger than us as individuals or as political parties, and how we joined with near unanimity in supporting the President on the war on terrorism. At that time I rose, along with many colleagues, to support that resolution honoring our service members and to commend the gentleman from California (Mr. Hunter) for an effort that brought us together, rather than splitting us apart. I doubt that we can offer too many resolutions for our servicemen and servicewomen, so I understand the gentleman's interest in offering a further resolution tonight. I would like nothing more than to see a similar unanimous vote in support of that resolution.
