Famous quotes by Tom Harkin:

"This study should be a wake up call to all Americans, and specifically to those of us in Congress who have stood idly by as more and more junk food inundates our schools,"

"Would anyone advocate that we take the fences off the playground for elementary schools and just let kids run around in the streets? ... By the same token, why would we allow schools to sort of poison our kids with junk food?"

"Parents should know that our schools are now one of the largest sources of unhealthy food for their kids."

"What can I tell you, I don't know anything about him."

"We are right where we always were."

"Dana Reeve has already faced more than her fair share of adversity, but I know that she will face this latest challenge, as she has the others, with strength, dignity, courage and grace."

"Let's face it, in America today we don't have a health care system, we have a sick care system."

"We don't require our astronomers to explore the heavens with 19th century telescopes, and we don't require our geologists to study the Earth with a tape measure. If we are serious about realizing the promise of stem cell research, our biomedical researchers need access to the best stem cell lines available."

"America's health care system is in crisis precisely because we systematically neglect wellness and prevention."

"Obesity now contributes to the death of more than 360,000 Americans a year. The incidence of childhood obesity is now at epidemic levels. Alarm bells are going off all over the place. But our government has done virtually nothing."

"While President Bush's tax give-aways for the rich are pushing us further into debt, he compensates by increasing the out-of-pocket costs to our veterans."

"The Gulf War was like teenage sex. We got in too soon and out too soon."

"The President must stop gambling with taxpayers' money and get the country back on the path of fiscal sanity."

"Stem cell research holds enormous promise for easing human suffering, and federal support is critical to its success."
