Political Quotes

“There are remaining issues of justice that this House must address. First, let me offer my deepest sympathy to the people of the Philippines who, as you look at the landscape, 10 million people have been affected, 4,011 deaths, and 4.4 million people displaced. We must come together as a Nation and come together as a Congress and provide the resources. Let me salute the United States military and our marines who landed first who are a lifeline to those people. Let me say to them that we are with you. Then I want to say that the Senate has addressed the justice issue ENDA for the LGBT community. How can we stand here on the precipice of honoring great leaders and not recognize that there are people who need human dignity? Pass ENDA now. And let me pay tribute to the 50th year of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and salute him--yes, salute him--as one of the greatest leaders and visionaries--Camelot--who led this country and inspired this country to greatness and service. We owe a debt of gratitude and appreciation to the legacy of his family and to the service they have given. To President John F. Kennedy, may he rest in peace and thank him for inspiring millions of people. ____________________”
