Political Quotes

“I never thought I would see the day that I would have to defend our child nutrition programs, under heavy attack from none other than the Coca-Cola Co., an American corporate giant. Coca-Cola is out to nail our kids and child nutrition programs right along with them. They have launched a stealth campaign to kill the 'Better Nutrition and Health for Children Act of 1994.' This corporate giant is taking on our children. They know--and unfortunately so do too many in Congress--that children do not vote; children do not hand out large sums of PAC money; children cannot hire expensive lobbyists. Corporate giants have the PAC's, the lobbyists, the money, all the things the children do not have. But I think this is a fight that children should win over Coca-Cola. I am always going to put the welfare of children ahead of corporate giants. The Better Nutrition and Health for Children Act of 1994 is a good bill.”
