Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, this week House Republicans will be considering a resolution that would authorize the Speaker of the House to sue President Obama. This lawsuit is frivolous. It is also wasteful and without merit. We must focus on critical legislative priorities instead of political lawsuits that will do nothing but waste millions of the taxpayers' dollars. There are critical issues that need action now. How about creating some jobs, raising the minimum wage, or maybe fixing our broken immigration system before we leave here? I can tell you that the constituents in my district could use a raise in the minimum wage. There are also people out there that are hurting, that need their unemployment benefits extended. This lawsuit disregards the priorities of the American people. I do not support this lawsuit. It is frivolous. And I suggest that we use our time to address critical issues that will positively impact Americans. I will be voting ``no'' on this lawsuit and urge the House leadership to use their time wisely this week--like we are taught early in elementary school--to bring up bills that will put hardworking Americans back to work. ____________________”
