Today, Our Actions Must Be Motivated Only

Wilderness Designations Should Not Be The Result Of A Quid Pro Quo. They Should Rise Or Fall On Their Own Merits.

I Believe That The Framers Of The Constitution Made Their Intent Clear When They Wrote The First Amendment. I Believe They Wanted To Keep The New Government From Endorsing One Religion Over Another, Not Erase The Public Consciousness Or Common Faith.

Today, Our Actions Must Be Motivated Only By Our Intense Desire To Achieve A Just And Lasting Peace. The Compassion And Charity Of The American People Should Be Reflected In This Legislation, Though Sadly, They Are Silenced.

Reasonable, Even Intelligent People Can, And Frequently Do, Disagree On How Best To Achieve Peace In The Middle East, But, Peace Must Be The Goal Of Our Foreign Policy Tools, Whether They Be By The Stick Or By The Carrot.

The Spirit Of Christmas Is - And Hopefully Always Will Be - About Goodwill And Generosity To Others And Peace On Earth.
