Ted Poe: “As a Nation, we are not judged by the way we treat the rich, the famous, the powerful, the important folks that live…”

On the recordFebruary 10, 2009
As a Nation, we are not judged by the way we treat the rich, the famous, the powerful, the important folks that live among us; but we as a community in this Nation are judged by the way we treat the most vulnerable among us, the weak, the innocent, the children, and the elderly. That is how we will be judged as a Nation. It is important that we then pass this legislation to help protect those innocent among us, and in this bill it happens to be the elderly. I urge adoption of this bill.
