It's time we live up to Lincoln's injunction, which serves as the VA's motto today, quote, 'to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan.'

No one should be treated this way in a country as great as ours.

Decent care for our veterans is the most solemn obligation a nation occurs, and we will be judged by God and history how well we discharge ours.

Decent care for our veterans is among the most solemn obligations a nation incurs, and we will be judged by God and history by how well we discharge ours.

It's time for answers, accountability and leadership from this Administration.

It seems to me there should be standards of enforcement, standards of behavior, standards of scanning...

I will do everything in my power to see if I can get Senator Levin to get engaged as well.

The person, the consumer that is harmed, has no place to go for help or compensation, it appears.

Well, I will look forward to your data on the malvertising since clearly that indicates you have got a lot of work to do.

I believe that consumer privacy and safety in the online advertising industry is a serious issue and warrants this Subcommittee's examination.

I thank the witnesses. I just have a couple of questions because obviously we have an important vote going on.

Ronald Reagan used to say that facts are stubborn things.

I would say that sliver is a pretty big sliver, Mr. Stamos.

Stakeholders who fail to adopt reasonable best practices and controls should bear the liability and publishers should reject their ads.
