Political Quotes

“More than 207,000 Americans are dead, and there is no end in sight. One in six Americans is jobless. These are not just numbers. These are people. They have lost their livelihoods, their health, their careers. Many have lost everything. It did not have to be this way.

We have a President who would rather save face, save power to himself, than save lives, who corrosively continues to play politics as people die. We are a Nation in crisis. People are in despair. Government has a role to play.

Let us live up to Elijah Cummings' command: ``We are better than this.'' ____________________”
