Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise in support of H.R. 4200, which would name a Colorado post office after Sergeant David Kinterknecht. Sergeant Kinterknecht was a law enforcement officer who was killed in 2009 while responding to a routine domestic violence call. This bill would repeal and replace a bill passed in Congress that named a mail processing facility after Sergeant Kinterknecht. This mail processing facility is not commonly used by those in Montrose. Instead, to ensure that Sergeant Kinterknecht is remembered as he deserves, Congressman Tipton wishes to name a more commonly used post office after the sergeant. This would allow Montrose residents, including Sergeant Kinterknecht's family and friends, to be able to see a post office named after him. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
