Text Quotes
We all have a role to play - the President, Congress, parents, students and schools - in making college affordable and keeping the middle class dream alive.  (Congress Quotes) This is what class warfare looks like: The Business Roundtable - representing Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and others - has called on Congress to raise the eligibility age of Social Security and Medicare to 70, cut Social Security and veterans’ COLAs, raise taxes on working families and cut taxes for the largest corporations in America.  (Congress Quotes) In the depth of the near depression, that he faced when he came in, Barack Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress provided ‘recovery funds’ that literally kept our classrooms open. Two years ago, these funds saved nearly 20,000 teacher and education jobs - just here in North Carolina.  (Congress Quotes) In Maine, we are fortunate to have a Clean Elections system that allows legislators to turn down corporate special interest money. At the national level, Congress should follow Maine’s example by empowering the voices of small donors.  (Congress Quotes) We deeply regret that some Senators are still willing to do Big Oil?s bidding, and we now turn to the House where the Arctic drilling scheme should be dead on arrival. Americans are clamoring for a clean Congress and a clean energy plan, but sadly they were shortchanged on both today.  (Congress Quotes) When I was first elected to the House in 2006, it was important to me to send a clear message to the people of NY-20: I wanted to be a representative for the people and shed some light on their government, so I became the first member of Congress to post my schedule, my financial disclosures and my earmark requests all online.  (Congress Quotes) I certainly enjoy going on stage and lecturing and talking to Congress. That’s a personality explanation. And given government proposals, I thought I had a clear view that they were antagonistic to human freedom.  (Congress Quotes) As a Member of Congress from one of the fastest growing States in the country, we hire close to 2,500 new teachers a year, close to 5,000 support staff and faculty.  (Congress Quotes) Over the last five years, the Administration and the majority in Congress have appropriated less than $900 million for port security grants - despite the Coast Guard’s determination that $5.4 billion is needed over 10 years.  (Congress Quotes) As a high school dropout, I understand the value of education: A second chance at obtaining my high school diploma through the G.I. Bill led me to attend college and law school and allowed me the opportunity to serve in Congress.  (Congress Quotes) My father was in Congress when I was born. He was mayor my whole life from when I was in grade school - first grade - to when I went away to college.  (Congress Quotes) Assimilating college sports into the university would prevent them from being run as autonomies or fiefdoms. And you don’t need an NCAA bylaw or an act of Congress to do it - just an active, empowered faculty and some administrators with backbone.  (Congress Quotes) I had taken on the color of the climate around me and had driven back all the emotion that rose from the Brooklyn streets so that I could belong to the exclusive club of Congress.  (Congress Quotes) Since coming to Congress in 1971, I have been fighting to help create an environment where the goals of the National Work and the Family Month can become a reality.  (Congress Quotes) Thousands of members of Congress have come and gone over the years, their individual achievements hidden in committee reports, private compromises, amendments pushed through or blocked, and innumerable, unnoticed meetings.  (Congress Quotes) I have said, with respect to authorization bills, that I do not want the Congress or the country to commit fiscal suicide on the installment plan.  (Congress Quotes) As president of Common Cause, I joined a coalition of groups ranging from the Christian Coalition to Consumers Union, and we went to Congress with over a million signatures asking that Net Neutrality be made law.  (Congress Quotes) The important thing to remember with the Internet is that there are large companies that have an interest in controlling how information flows in it. They’re very effective at lobbying Congress, and that pattern has locked down other communication media in the past. And it will happen again unless we do something about it.  (Congress Quotes) Having seen my mom in community volunteer work my whole life and in Congress for 25 years, it is true as she often says that she sees her service as an extension of her role as a mother and a grandmother.  (Congress Quotes) In the future, ‘the networked’ will sometimes form alliances with the Silicon Valley companies against Congress, but sometimes we are going to want and need to target our campaigns for change at the companies themselves.  (Congress Quotes) I never supported violence. Before the formation of TMC, I was a member of the Congress Party. Gandhi’s Congress. Non-violence is a philosophy that runs deep.  (Congress Quotes) Incumbents are safe, but party majorities are not. This fosters symbolic votes, message politics and little serious legislating in Congress.  (Congress Quotes) The Republicans in Congress, they believe in Ronald Reagan’s Republican Party, not Donald Trump Republican Party or Steve Bannon’s Republican Party.  (Congress Quotes) I want the Congress that really is going to listen to the people. I really don’t care what party it is anymore.  (Congress Quotes) I did subscribe to the freedom movement and I was much closer to the Congress than to the Akali party. It is a communal party.  (Congress Quotes) President Obama is so much smarter and a better communicator than members of Congress in either party. The contrast, side by side, is almost ridiculous....  (Congress Quotes) We must challenge to fight at every level, including Congress and to make that challenge political and to organize as a political party is how we get traction.  (Congress Quotes) As parties began to develop around the turn of the 19th century, you had party nominees for President nominated in caucuses made up of party members in Congress.  (Congress Quotes) A constitutional amendment for congressional term limits could never achieve the blessing of Congress; it could be initiated only by the states.  (Congress Quotes) Was the Vietnam conflict a war which should have, as a matter of constitutional law, required a declaration of war by Congress?  (Congress Quotes)
