Nancy Johnson Quotations

Every child in America deserves high-quality health care.

Millions of American families affected by debilitating diseases have new hope today after the U.S. House passed legislation to support potentially life-saving stem cell research.

Yes, I mean, I used to be into the big bulk thing, and that's why my legs look like those of a cyclist instead of a shooter's, but I think there is a point to where too much is not a good thing. I think I try to lower my center of gravity by doing a lot of legs.

We usually use that mostly on the weekends because we have access to the range during the week. But I can tell you a number of times they have had a training holiday at Fort Benning, so nobody trains, and to drag him in is like pulling teeth.

How do I handle it? I would say more times than not, if I have a bad shot, I just get angry and almost like kill the next one. And it usually works I would say 9 times out of 10.

I used to have to force myself to go, okay, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing and then all of a sudden a thought of some where could come in. Now I can just focus and not think about anything. So, yeah, I guess I do that a lot.

House passage is good news for the Northwest corner and our environment.

No one is above the law, not even the president. I believe perjury does meet at least the definition of high misdemeanor.

Tax bills create wealth. They help people live better.

A lot of them are afraid to sit down and break their position. You should be able to make it so natural that you can just get out, and sit down and walk away from it, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I mean, one shot you treat like you have forty little matches instead of one forty shot match. It makes all the difference in the world. It's easier to just forget about a not so good shot.

No, I think I used to be pretty superstitious about certain things, but I'm really not anymore. As long as I have everything is in order and I have my things as far as the match goes, shooting I'm fine. But I really don't.

Once I got to the OTC they knew more about the physical aspects of shooting, and knew which muscles were more important to have trained and geared us a program around that.

You know, differentiating between training and matches. If they are all matches it becomes very natural to shoot them, although Dan thinks I should shoot more of them. I think I shoot plenty of them.

I think it was 47 years that he'd been coaching so he was probably my biggest influence because he pushed me really hard and I just didn't have anybody else. It wasn't until I started going to Perry and started recognizing names and seeing who the good shooters were, so I really didn't have an influence until years later. But he was my biggest one.

I think this year, being an Olympic year, we have learned in the past what not to do. Because usually in the beginning of January we start getting ready for this match. And that's just too late. Yes, everybody needs a break at the end of the year. November, December there's a lot of holidays, nobody wants to shoot. But we actually shot all through the end of last year.

Suffice it to say that the officer allegedly used his authority, threats of arrest and (more subtly) his weapon to effect the sexual assault

It doesn't matter if I go to a match or if I'm shooting a match by myself at the range, it's shooting matches and not saying, "Oh well, this is just for me and it doesn't count." Shooting matches.

I'm still listening, but there are very strong strengths to the (reconciliation bill), and I want to be sure what the balance is.

You know you do get a little bit irritated with yourself if you have a stupid shot and if you jump on the next one and say, "Okay, the next one is going to be a ten, and it's going to be a deep ten, and I don't care and I'm not going to take anything less", it usually works.

We cannot allow families to get hit with unanticipated taxes on college savings just when they need them to pay for their children's tuition.

I started shooting out of interest in archery and there wasn't an archery range close enough for me to shoot at.

A thorough appreciation of our state?s history is an essential part of our children?s education, ... This important grant will give our state?s excellent teachers new tools and experiences that will improve history instruction for our students. It will also enhance Central Connecticut State University?s long and distinguished record of teaching our state?s teachers. I salute the university?s faculty and administrators for their continuing leadership in strengthening education in Connecticut.

There were people who knew the trails and rivers, people who knew this area and came to me with problems they saw. I am blessed to represent a district with such dedicated, active members.

I told Ken, the other day, I said it's taken me year to be able to think about nothing, while you're taking just a mental break. But especially within the last, I'd say 6 to 8 months or so, it's been very easy for me to take just a few shots and then just stand there, and then you'll look at me and you're like, "What is she doing?".

Do it here, do it there, and before you know it, you'll find at least $5 billion,

Not to worry about what other people are doing. Because this is a very individual sport. Yet especially as juniors, who wants to know how everybody else is doing? And I think that goes on a lot, no matter what age you are, but at some time you have to learn you are doing this for yourself, by yourself.

By doubling the bracket all we're doing is helping school teachers, waitresses, police, store managers, those kind of hardworking Americans and I'm proud to do it,

America's craft brewers know that beer, not wine, is the best beverage for accompanying a good meal.

I have had a hard time settling on one medium and feel like a dilettante at times, taking up one medium and then wanting to learn to work in another. At age 76, I really don't have the time to settle down to one medium when there are so many avenues to explore.

These important grant funds will help ensure safe, lead-free homes for New Britain families,

This is my third year coming to this event and I can't believe I won. I will use it for trees in my yard.
