David Bonior Time Quotations

I advised him that the president needs to make clear to the American people, in a way that he did to us today, his contrition, his sorrow for his actions, and he needs to do that not just once, he needs to understand that this is a process that is ongoing, that this issue will be raised time and again throughout the weeks, perhaps even months, ... He needs to address it on a continual basis with the kind of concern that he expressed to us today but he also needs to get to the issues that he was elected to address in this country.

In the final analysis we believe that freedom and democracy are not byproducts for economic prosperity, they are conditions for it, ... This is not the time to vote. This is not the time to give up our leverage once and for all.
