Thank you so much, Representative Jackson Lee. I think you clearly explained the dilemma we have. While the economy is slowly bouncing back--and this President has brought us from a 9.8 percent unemployment rate he inherited down to 7…

Thank you so much, Representative Cartwright, for not only your long-time advocacy on behalf of so many people, but for sharing the personal stories, because I think that is what matters the most. Mr. Speaker, how much time is remaining…

I have all sorts of stories that I would read but I don't have time to from construction workers who are out of work and need these benefits, from machinists who are out of work, a surgical nurse in Baraboo, Wisconsin. There are so many…
