“Our Founding Fathers would shudder to see how easily forces outside the mainstream now seem to effortlessly push some Senate leaders toward conduct the American people don't want from their elected leaders: Abusing power. Inserting the government into our private lives. Injecting religion into debates about public policy. Jumping through hoops to ingratiate themselves to their party’s base, while step by step, day by day, real problems that keep American families up at night fall by the wayside here in Washington.”
Senator John Kerry
“Racial discrimination does not always violate public policy.”
Trent Lott
“Universality has been severely reduced: it is virtually dead as a concept in most areas of public policy.”
Stephen Harper
“Our children are our greatest resource. Our public policy must reflect our values. That means not just passing legislation to Leave No Child Behind, but funding those programs. Words must be backed by deeds to make sure all America's children - black and white, Latino and Asian have an equal chance to succeed.”
Barbara Mikulski
“The goal of today's event is to get people to think about public policy and for what it's worth, that's the goal of the League of Women's Voters. To be aware of what's going on, to go vote, to when you get in there, to know what you're voting for.”
