But the truth is doing nothing is poison. Insurance companies will in fact continue to cheat women on their health care. And it is women of America that truly do need health care reform. Women have a harder time getting the care they need…

It's as simple as this: Are you for what the insurance companies are doing, or are you against it? Do you think it's right to cut your mother off her insurance because she's had a catastrophic cancer? I don't. Do you think it's right to…

I am proud to be a member of the Democratic Congressional Jobs Working Group. Together, we are proposing solutions to our job crisis. In fact, one of those proposals is H.R. 4564, the Emergency Jobs Program and Assistance for Families Act…

Now is the time to pass this resolution. Bobby Salcedo's death is a brutal reminder that this violence is a growing threat not just to Mexicans, but also to Americans. Bringing his killers to justice will vindicate his death, and ending…

The purpose of this resolution is to remind people that the threat is not over, and that it is imperative that they get their H1N1 vaccination. Such a vaccination would have helped one of my constituents, Monica Rodriguez. Monica was a…

Today I am introducing a resolution decrying the shocking violence of the Mexican drug cartels, and I am urging the Mexican Government to bring to justice those responsible for the killing of Bobby Salcedo and of countless innocent…

I know that you made some major exceptions to pay cuts for three senior AIG executives who had signed contracts for multi-million dollars bonuses prior to your appointment.

I am so grateful to be the newest member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

How do you plan to ensure that the additional $5.6 billion that they are requesting doesn't go toward these unscrupulous compensation practices?

I certainly would agree that after the Lehman and AIG experiences there is little doubt that we need a third option that--between the choices of bankruptcy and bailout for non-bank financial firms and that we have to end the expectation…

Well, I am very pleased to join this Committee and to have this as my first Committee hearing, so thank you very much.

The big leap forward will occur when you all permit California and the rest of the nation to use the data that is in the Medicaid database.

I was so happy to hear of the success of California's direct certification program, this 37 percent increase in student enrollment in the school lunch program.

I sponsored a bill to increase food stamp eligibility by eliminating the fingerprinting requirement.

if that leverage could be used toward equalizing spending in districts with the local and state money, then some of these remedies would start to surface.

I am assuming that you would want more teachers with national board certification to be at the high-needs schools?
