Famous quotes by Jim Ryun:

"If permitted to stand, the practical impact of such a ruling would have devastating consequences for prosecutions of child predators who troll the Internet looking for children to entice and ultimately harm,"

"We're looking into it, ... to see what it might mean in the long term, but so far, we've received some assurances it doesn't have anything negative in it. It's beneficial that we'll still be in the prison system."

"We partnered with the Senate, with Sens. (Sam) Brownback and (Pat) Roberts, ... and we came out well."

"The 2nd District did very well,"

"I'm sure there will be more things done before it's over,"

"not so sure that it's detrimental."

"In fact, after the Senate passed it, I went straight to the committee chairman and said we need to see if we can at least have a hearing and move forward on it, ... He gave me some sense of assurance he'd go back and look at it again."

"It's very small, the Alaskans want it and we need it, ... But we couldn't get that through the Senate because a lot of people don't understand how important it is to get that done."

"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going."

"The United States is not a nation based upon race, creed, or religion - we are a nation based upon our loyalty and allegiance to our country and her principles."

"The oath of renunciation and allegiance is a solemn vow taken by thousands of immigrants each year to become a United States citizen. The oath is the fundamental statement of allegiance to the United States, and this allegiance is what unites America."

"As I said a moment ago, there is no higher priority in our budget, or certainly in the budgets of the past few years, than providing for what is needed for the protection and security of our country and support of our troops."

"After the horrific attacks of September 11th, it was evident that our Government needed to be transformed to meet the new challenges of this dangerous world."

"Protection of private property is a fundamental right protected in a strong democracy."

"We have a strong agricultural heritage in Kansas."

"With this announcement today, the Army has made it clear what we have known all along - that Fort Riley is truly the crown jewel of the United States Army."

"In turn, more physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers are severely limiting their practices, moving to other states, or simply not providing care."

"Mr. Chairman, on September 11, we were attacked by terrorists who took advantage of weaknesses in our border security. After infiltrating our country, the terrorists were able to conceal their real identities, and thereby plot their attacks without fear of being apprehended."

"One would expect that private property taken by eminent domain would become land available for public use such as parks and roads. Unfortunately, this decision creates a loophole for government to manipulate the definition of public use simply to generate greater tax revenue."

"By reducing our dependence of foreign oil and increasing alternative energy sources such as ethanol, we can begin to bring down prices at the pumps, create thousands of new jobs and bring a much needed boost to our economy."
