“It's been years, but I still say that I went out with the same progressive values and liberal ideals that I went in with. I made a couple of mistakes, I will honestly admit. In retrospect, there are a few votes I wish I could take back. But, through it all, I kept my support for organized labor, I kept my support for income equality, I kept my support for making sure that kids that come from poor families have access to education. So, yes, I still believe that you don't have to give up your ideals and go along. One person can still stand up and make a difference.” GivingBelieveKidsValuesWishPoorMistakeSupportCoupleGiving UpLaborVoteHonestlyMaking A DifferenceProgressiveI Still Believe Author:Tom Harkin
“I fully support President Bush's decision to strike Al Qaeda's terrorist network. Now more than ever, we must stand united as a nation and support our President and our military. It is important to remember that this carefully targeted response is not an attack on a religion, nor a nation, but an attack on terrorism. In Congress, we will continue to work with the White House to do what's needed to bring justice to those who committed the heinous and evil attacks of September 11.” ImportantRememberEvilHouseNationsPresidentJusticeWhiteDecisionUnitedSupportMilitaryNeededResponseCongressCommittedTerrorismStrikesTerroristWhite HouseAlsSeptemberPresident BushSeptember 11Al Qaeda Author:Tom Harkin
