"Our troops know how to work together,they stand shoulder-to-shoulder to protect and defend this country. We surely in these chambers can do the same. So lets stop blaming each and other and lets get to work. Our men and women in uniform deserve nothing less."
Tammy Duckworth"If there’s anything that my ancestors’ service taught me, it’s the importance of protecting our founding values, including every American’s right to speak out. In a nation born out of an act of protest, there is nothing more patriotic than standing up for what you believe in, even if it goes against those in power."
Tammy Duckworth"Parenthood isn’t just a women’s issue, it’s an economic issue and an issue that affects all parents — men and women alike."
