This is legislation we've been working on for years.

Even if Bush were to win, there's no mandate to do any radical legislation.

The immigration bill has to be perceived as the bashing bill of the year. The intensity of that legislation left little room to target anyone else.

With the legislation in play now, we would have to make cuts ranging from one to two million dollars - I can't begin to tell you what that would do to this district.

It's a matter of getting people excited and out to vote. Whether the Congress passes a lot of legislation is a separate issue. . . . They can get the electoral issues done just by debating some of the issues.

To let the senators know how we feel about the legislation in Congress ... It's a peaceful assembly.
