I present an amendment to this legislation that will help the seniors who built America from the bottom up. This amendment provides us with an opportunity not to stall this bill, but improve it, right here and right now. The contributions…
The Party of No has officially become the Party of No Plan. Every week under GOP control has been another week with no plan to create jobs. This is not a game. In Florida, unemployment remains at 12 percent. People want to work. They want…
A 2-week extension to fund the government may prevent a shutdown, but it will not change the fact that a serious choice lies before this Congress. Will 2011 be a year in which we continue to grow our economy, a year that builds on the over…
I believe that he and his team deserve recognition for innovative and aggressive action to stop theft.
This week my Republican colleagues offered us a glimpse into their vision for America. It is a country where millions of women are turned away from basic health care, where the wealthy can buy access to our courts, and the poor are denied…
I do not believe that the government should interfere with the reproductive rights of a woman, but that is not what is being debated here. No matter how many times our friends on the other side of the aisle say that this is an amendment…
If Medicare is constitutional, then Medicare for everyone is constitutional.
So collecting taxes then and handing out coupons and requiring that those coupons be spent in the private market, that is acceptable.
I take offense to the suggestion that those in my caucus are somehow stirring up racial hatred.
In a time of great economic strife, Americans deserve more from their leaders than recycled attacks on their constitutional rights. Let's not deny women access to birth control and wellness care provided by Planned Parenthood, or the…
I would encourage you to reach out, and I would be happy to make that happen.
In your own opinion, the fees that inventors pay, do you think that it's about right, too low, too high? Just your opinion.

Just days ago, our nation was shaken by the brutal act of violence committed against Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the constituents waiting in line to speak with her. The shots fired in Tuscon claimed the lives of several Americans…
I came to Congress to fight for new jobs, protect the retirement security of America's seniors, and give middle class families a fair shake in this economy. Yet our efforts, the basic bricks in the foundation of a working economy, have…
I rise with deep concerns over the temporary payroll tax cut included in the package before us tonight, not because we shouldn't provide relief to the middle class. We must, tonight. Cutting Social Security contributions could have lasting…
The holiday time is upon us when Americans from all walks of life rejoice in our shared values of generosity, good will, family, and thankfulness. Yet, this cherished holiday spirit is absent here tonight as Congress once again finds…
Small businesses are the backbone of America's economy. More than half of American workers are employed by small businesses. In fact, 99.7 percent of businesses in the United States employ fewer than 500 people. When I talk to small…
Democrats are committed to building an economy where anyone can make it in America. The oil spill compels us to do this by encouraging growth in green energy. We can do this by creating new manufacturing jobs, by improving access to credit…
When it comes to Social Security, Americans have two choices: On the one hand, there is the Democratic Party that created Social Security, strengthened it, and will continue to defend it from attacks. On the other, there are the…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the American Jewish community's many contributions to our Nation's society and culture. I would like to thank my dear friend and colleague, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, for her…
