Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 18, 2022
As President Zelenskyy said, we are the leaders of peace. The President is the leader of world peace. Thank you, President Biden, for recognizing the crisis and the murder and pillage and slaughter of babies in Ukraine. Let us continue to stand together, but I am fighting as much to be able to solve the Ukraine crisis as I am for peace. Let me also acknowledge this past week the remembering of those who were killed in Atlanta, which exhibited the worst kind of Asian hate. Let us stand together against such hate and stand together for what is right. Let me also mention the fighters at the Pleasant Village senior citizen housing. They have been fighting against eviction, against disrespect, and against a complete altering of their living quarters. They determined that they should have quality-of-life housing. I am asking the new owner to stand down and to allow this housing project or this housing facility to be for seniors in their later lives so they can have a better quality of life. I will continue to fight to ensure that they have a place to live that is safe and best for them. ____________________
