Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, which begins this Sunday. Hispanic Heritage Month is about recognizing the countless contributions made by Latinos across the Nation. In my own district, which is over 70 percent Latino, many will commemorate, as we have for decades, with the kickoff of a grand parade downtown, marking 214 years of Mexican independence. It is a grand celebration of all that makes our communities proud of their heritage, their language, and their culture. As we honor Hispanic Heritage Month, let us commit to fostering an inclusive country where everyone, regardless of their background, can thrive and achieve the American Dream. Let's put diversity over hate, ``familia,'' ``family'' over fear, and people over politics. ____________________”
