Quotations From The Shrubbery
It's important for us to explain to our nation that life is important. It's not only life of babies, but it's life of children living in, you know, the dark dungeons of the Internet.

I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job.
--Statement made during campaign visit to Amish community in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Jul. 9, 2004
