Political Quotes

“There were a number of votes that I missed because I was unavoidably detained for the memorial services at Fort Hood, Texas, on April 9, 2014, and for honoring President Lyndon Baines Johnson on April 10, 2014. Had I been present, I would have voted as follows: On rollcall vote No. 171, the substitute amendment of Mulvaney, I would have voted ``no.'' On rollcall vote No. 172, which involved the budget resolution on the Congressional Black Caucus budget, I would have voted ``yes.'' On rollcall vote No. 173 on the Progressive Caucus budget, I would have voted ``yes.'' On rollcall vote No. 174 on the Expatriate Health Coverage Clarification Act, I would have voted ``no.'' On rollcall vote No. 175 on the Woodall of Georgia substitute budget amendment, I would have voted ``no.'' On rollcall vote No. 176, the Democratic alternative for Mr. Van Hollen, I would have voted ``yes.'' On rollcall vote No. 177, the Republican fiscal year 2015 budget resolution of Mr. Ryan, I would have voted ``no.'' This concludes the votes that I missed due to the memorial at Fort Hood and the honoring of President Lyndon Baines Johnson. ____________________”
