Political Quotes

“I believe almost all of us are here to make America stronger, to serve the people who sent us here. This act will do exactly the opposite. It will hurt the 33,000 American solar installers who will lose their jobs. It will raise energy costs for families everywhere, but especially in the Sun Belt. It will hurt all Americans who hope to use the solar tax credit. It will hurt the energy companies, the businesses that built major solar installations in the last 8 months that will be subject to a retroactive tariff of 254 percent.

There are no winners. I urge my friends to vote ``no.''”
