The intentions in the bill that Senator McCain and I have put in would be to force the light of disclosure on all forms of grassroots lobbying.

Among the offices receiving that memo was the White House Situation Room, which received it at 1:47 a.m. on Monday, August 29, several hours before Katrina made landfall. What happened to that report?

The Department of Homeland Security has engaged in a strategy of slow-walking our investigation, in the hope that we would run out of time.

It's time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge that he will be a commander in chief for three more critical years, and that, in matters of war, we undermine presidential credibility at our nation's peril.

American troops are terrorizing Iraqi children and families.

Progress is visible and practical.

We cannot afford to lose.

It is time to sort of appoint an informal war cabinet made up of Democratic and Republican congressional leaders to sit down with the president.

We can win if we just stick with the president.

The Iraqis are beginning to show much more self-sufficiency. They're a long way from being able to take it on their own.

We're asking the same question that everybody asked after 9/11: How could this have happened in America? And what must we do urgently to make sure nothing like this ever happens again?

I don't believe you're going to find more than 30 votes against Judge Roberts.

In a Senate that has become increasingly partisan and polarized, the bipartisan center held.

It's up to the voters now.

In not coming Monday, I was wrong.

There's not evidence to convict Secretary Rumsfeld.

Senator Bingaman and I have introduced legislation to regulate refund anticipation loans, RALs, and expand access to free tax preparation services.

I hope you will fight for increased funds for clean water programs at the agency.

I am telling you, Mr. Administrator, that I personally, and for the sake of the people in Libby, Montana, ask you to make this your priority.

I cannot understand why this Administration does not want to extend Superfund, that is, the fees for Superfund.

A clean-up as important as Libby, that is as well-managed as I'm told it is, deserves the full support of EPA headquarters.

I can assure you that my colleague, Senator Mikulski, and I are going to do everything we can to restore it.

I do not believe that the EPA's budget should include funds to implement the Clear Skies rules in fiscal year 2005.

I hope you will fight for increased funds for the clean water programs of the agency.

I would think that this Administration's legacy would be more cleanups, not fewer, and have a strong environmental record, not a bad one.
