Political Quotes

“Just a few minutes ago, I stood with hundreds of American workers who came to this place that they consider a place of responsibility and respect--holders of the Constitution--to beg for their jobs. They represent a small segment of 800,000 Federal employees. As I was standing there, a representative, Ms. McNeill from AFGE, indicated that this morning she had just received a call from an unemployed Federal worker and an unemployed husband, a wife and husband. They're in crisis. The woman is now being abused, and they had to escort her to a shelter--crisis, Mr. Speaker. It's not about surrendering. It's about caring about the American people. It's about caring about Diane, who was able to get health insurance after being diabetic and hearing bad things about ObamaCare. And it's about Senator Dole and John Dingell, two World War II veterans who have said: Don't insult us with this piecemeal. A Republican and the dean of the House want us to stop and put a clean CR for the American people and to end this crisis. I'm here to end the crisis right now. ____________________”
