Political Quotes

“I would like to thank my dear friend, Mr. Kanjorski, for offering a privileged resolution. My simple words are that this House was privileged to have a man like John Murtha walk these halls and this floor. I know that as he is honored on Wednesday night with a Special Order, we will gather to celebrate and commemorate a life well lived not only for his family, but for his country and for the people that he loved and the military that he served and respected. Madam Speaker, I come as well today to speak very quickly about the President's issuance of a health care reform package. Everywhere I have gone in my district there are people crying out for relief, and that relief comes in terms of no preexisting disease, lower premium costs, the insuring of 36 million, and the opportunity for people to go into an exchange and find the insurance that they can subscribe to, including that which covers those of us in Congress. We have to stop those who are dying, 45,000, who live without insurance. It is time to pass health care reform now. ____________________”
