Political Quotes

“Before I begin, Mr. Speaker, I cannot help but acknowledge that we are just days away from memorializing those lost on 9/11, and I am reminded of that time some 10 years ago and how this body drew together. I don't know if our leadership has thought of it, but I think it would be more than appropriate if we went to the steps of the Capitol and sang again ``God Bless America.'' I hope we can do that because we did that together. Tonight, I hope we can be together as the President commands the attention of the American people. I hope we can be together to lift up the concept of Make It in America, rebuild America, put our small businesses and inventors and geniuses back to work. I hope we can come together with the FAA reauthorization so Houston, Texas, won't lose $90 million in airport construction. I hope that we can come together and recognize that when we do a supplemental to help our friends with the wildfires in Texas, my constituents, others, and Lloyd Doggett's constituents and all in the northeast, that we are coming together to place jobs. Mr. Speaker, there is nothing more bipartisan than putting America back to work. Thank you, Mr. President. ____________________”
