I yield 1 minute to the brilliant, brilliant gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Holt).

At this time I would yield 1 minute to the gentleman, the great Irishman from Virginia (Mr. Moran).

Thank you. I now would like to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts, Congressman Ed Markey, whom I think possesses the broadest and the deepest knowledge about telecommunications in the Congress.

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in fierce opposition to this bill which is going to adversely affect more than 34 million National Public Radio listeners through 900 local stations across our entire…

I would just like to add something here, and that is that one of the mantras of our friends on the other side of the aisle was ``read the bill.'' If the gentlewoman from Tennessee would read the bill, she would know that there is not one…

I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer), who is the chairman of the House Caucus on Public Broadcasting.

I would now like to yield 2 minutes to a highly respected member of the Energy and Commerce Committee and the Telecommunications and Internet Subcommittee, the gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr. Mike Doyle. And Happy St. Patrick's Day.

In the wake of the horrible tragedy in Arizona, Members of Congress were united in condemning the violence. We expressed our prayers and hopes for the recovery of our colleague, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, and the others injured in…

I think that we need to start rethinking some of this. I can't help but think that campaign ads should just be played on the floor, get it out of everybody's system on this czar issue, and move on. But these are individuals that are…

Vote against this. This is a bad, ill-informed amendment. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendments before us today that would prevent the FCC from moving forward in its efforts to preserve a free and open Internet. Over the past…

This is such a fascinating debate that's taking place here on the floor today. I think that anyone that considers themselves connected in the country--and I'm not talking about being connected to wealth but connectivity in terms of…

One of the things I admire the most about our country is our commitment and our love for democracy. We were founded on the ideal that it is the people who choose their government. We believe in the principle of one person, one vote; not…

I come to the floor this evening to protest the elimination of funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). The Republicans are proposing to eliminate CPB's federal funding going forward. Without these funds, local stations…

I rise to talk to whomever is tuned in this evening to tell some stories. I think stories are really what relate more than anything else to what is going on in the lives of our constituents and the American people. I want to take people…

I rise in opposition to what I think is really an unwise, unwarranted, and unfair effort to repeal the historic health care law which has brought much-needed insurance reforms to the American people. For the first time in our Nation's…

I'm deeply disappointed in the recently negotiated tax deal by the White House. While one can find items that are politically and practically attractive, in its totality, it borrows just shy of $1 trillion to pay for, amongst other items…

I have opposed the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy since its inception in 1993. I voted to repeal it earlier this year, and I hope to finally dispose of it with today's vote. This harmful policy is an affront to the principles of our Nation…
