Progression is everlastingly lifting the standards that marked the end of the world's march yesterday and planting them on new and advanced heights today.

What's important is that we pull out all the stops to leverage every way we can make a difference when people are in great need.
Bob Myers
[The hearings also came in the wake of the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina, with significant numbers of the National Guard of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama deployed in Iraq.] It is time we looked after our own backyard, ... We cannot do this as long as we continue to make Iraq the fifty-first state.
