Quotations regarding 'Congress'

Choose a letter: 
Obviously, overall infrastructure needs on the Southwest and Northern borders are mounting. We need a major push in Congress to remedy this.
Pete Domenici, American Politician (1932-  )
This resolution is further proof that Congress stands firmly behind our troops and remains resolved to pursue those responsible for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, until they are discovered, detained, and punished.
John Doolittle, American Politician (1950-  )
The Bush Administration and the Congress have to stop ignoring this crisis in international trade. The longer we ignore it, the more American jobs will move overseas. It's just that simple.
Byron Dorgan, American Politician (1942-  )
There are distinct duties of a poet laureate. I plan a reading series at the Library of Congress and advise the librarian. The rest is how I want to promote poetry.
Rita Dove, American Poet (1952-  )
Every day President Bush and Congress refuse to fulfill their obligation to special ed is another day Wisconsin property taxpayers are stuck with the bill. It's unfair, irresponsible and must stop.
Jim Doyle, American Politician (1945-  )
I would not have a woman go to Congress merely because she is a woman.
Crystal Eastman, American Lawyer (1881-1928)
We have to remind the people: Congress has the constitutional obligation and public responsibility to oversee these issues and the Department of Justice's operations.
Sibel Edmonds, American Public Servant
And I am saying, how about the other two branches? And putting the pressure on our representatives in the Senate and the Congress, and the court system. They should be counter-acting this corruption, but they are sitting there silent.
Sibel Edmonds, American Public Servant
Serving in Congress has been the honor of a lifetime.
Bob Ehrlich, American Politician (1957-  )
Only we, the public, can force our representatives to reverse their abdication of the war powers that the Constitution gives exclusively to the Congress.
Daniel Ellsberg, American Celebrity (1931-  )
We stand with the people of Taiwan and their democratic ways, and I am proud to be a part of reaffirming the unwavering commitment to the Taiwan Relations Act by the United States Congress.
Eliot Engel, American Politician (1947-  )
I think it's a lovely idea, but it will not pass the Congress. I live in a world of realities. The policy of our country is that we can drill our way to independence. I think that's a march to folly.
Anna Eshoo, American Politician (1942-  )
There were speeches made in Congress in the very last session before the outbreak of the Rebellion, so ferocious as to show that their authors were under the influence of a real frenzy.
Edward Everett, American Statesman (1794-1865)
What five members of the Supreme Court say the law is may be something vastly different from what Congress intended the law to be.
Benjamin F. Fairless, -
The Republican Party is in charge. They've been charge of the Congress and spending for 10 years.
Chaka Fattah, American Politician (1956-  )
There's not an appropriations bill in the last 10 years that the-that Democrats passed in the Congress. We haven't spent any money of your taxes in the last decade.
Chaka Fattah, American Politician (1956-  )
If a trip is worth taking, members of Congress should be prepared to justify paying for it out of their office accounts.
Russ Feingold, American Politician (1953-  )
Health care for all Americans is the most pressing domestic issue today. It's far past time for the President and Congress to deliver health care to everyone.
Russ Feingold, American Politician (1953-  )
In the first 50 years of the filibuster, it was used only 35 times. But the last Congress alone had 112 cloture motions filed, plus threats of more. This is the tyranny of the minority.
Peter Fenn, American Journalist
But I made one mistake which I would never repeat as a member of Congress when I was in Washington, and that was when I was elected I didn't go on trips because I was so afraid of having someone accuse me of taking junkets.
Geraldine Ferraro, American Politician (1935-2011)
