It goes without saying that the most important source of retirement income is Social Security.

Mr. Speaker, since we have passed health care reform into law, I have received a flood of gratitude from my constituents. Edith of Madison assures me ``the plan will bring real benefits to many people in Wisconsin.'' Beth of Verona also…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring the voices of my constituents in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, to the floor of the people's House. In 2008, homes along the northern shore of Lake Koshkonong and within the surrounding community were…

That is a high priority that I have, and I would like to feel that you will also feel that it is a high priority to get that letter of support.

I have been a strong proponent of the need for enhanced Federal agency collaboration and communication with respect to dairy competition over the last several years.

One of the best things about these workshops is they are an opportunity for the Department to hear the unvarnished comments of farmers and cheese makers and other Wisconsinites who think we should be doing more to protect family farms and…

Fortunately, as I urged, the current administration withdrew this flawed report.

Over the past 2 years, we have seen what happens when the Government turns a blind eye to risky and self-serving activities on Wall Street.
