We oppose the practice of shark finning and have long supported the laws passed by Congress to ensure the practice does not occur in U.S. shark fisheries.

Shark finning, not to mention shark overfishing, is just not a problem here.

We believe H.R. 5248 or 'SSFTA' is a meaningful and effective alternative to harmful legislation proposed by CA Representative Ed Royce and NJ Senator Cory Booker.

Employment is up, Taxes are DOWN. Enjoy!

We all agree that shark finning is cruel and wasteful.

I am joined in supporting H.R. 5248 by a host of commercial fishing groups.

I cannot express how demoralizing it would be if Congress were to take away our needed shark fin income.

I personally thank Congressmen Webster and Lieu for introducing this proactive bill that levels the playing field for American fishermen.

I cannot urge you strongly enough to support the SSFTA and oppose the fin ban.

I am honored to come before the Water, Power and Oceans Subcommittee to testify in support of H.R. 5248.

Our livelihoods are directly threatened by H.R. 1456/S. 793 which requires us to waste part of a natural resource by throwing away fins from our sustainably harvested sharks without benefiting global shark conservation.

The Sustainable Shark Fisheries and Trade Act (H.R. 5248) builds on and strengthens these past efforts.

By contrast, Reps. Webster's and Lieu's bill holds other nations to the same conservation and management standards we have adopted in our U.S. fisheries.

We are very pleased to join these organizations in supporting Congressmen Webster's and Lieu's bill H.R. 5248.

I am in Florida and looking forward to my meeting with Prime Minister Abe of Japan. Working on Trade and Military Security.

Today’s Court decision means that Congress must close loopholes that block the removal of dangerous criminal aliens, including aggravated felons. This is a public safety crisis that can only be fixed by....

I believe the conservation of sharks is of paramount importance to the health of our oceans.

States and Cities throughout our Country are being cheated and treated so badly by online retailers. Very unfair to traditional tax paying stores!
