Senators across the United States rise up to take the floor in the United States Senate. The hallowed chambers ring with the sounds of democracy. This intimate look into Senate debates offers a glimpse of the powerful oratory, passionate appeals, and deep insights that shape the direction of the nation’s discourse and legislative actions – check this out!

Senates are devoted to the art of speaking in public. They use it to not only persuade colleagues, but also to motivate the American people. Sensible and passionate, they deliver speeches that grab the attention of their listeners, or heartfelt tributes to the unsung heroes in the United States.

In the past, some of America’s most powerful orators have been found in the Senate. Daniel Webster’s passionate defense of the Union and Barbara Jordan’s stirring appeal for justice at the Watergate Hearings are just two examples of moments when the Senate floor was the scene for rhetorical brilliance. These speeches transcended political divides to resonate with generations.

But the Senate has a powerful voice that goes beyond just rhetoric. It is able to influence legislation. Sensitors use reasoned argumentation to create consensus and compromises. They also strive to advance the public good. Senators can use their voices for the issues that are most important to them and to their constituents.

In an age of instant communication and connectivity, the Senate continues to be a haven of deliberate discourse where rational debate is given precedence over political posturing and soundbites. Sensitors speak to both persuade and listen. They have a respectful dialog with their counterparts on the opposite side to seek solutions to common challenges.

“Senators’ Speak” is a celebration of the powerful role words have in shaping the history of our nation and its character. Daniel Webster wrote, “Let’s build our institutions, develop its resources, and advance all of its important interests. Let’s see if, today and in this generation, we don’t do something worth remembering.”
