Thank you, Mr. Camp. I appreciate your hard work on this. Unemployment is the largest problem we face today, so why would anyone want to punish innovation by forcing more taxes on American medical device companies. That is exactly what the President's health care law does, but we have a chance to repeal this tax today. I hope the Senate will follow suit. This tax will hurt the medical device industry, including companies like Cook Medical, which has two facilities in my district in Canton, Illinois. Cook currently has 100 employees, but is looking to expand and provide more jobs for men and women in Illinois. Support H.R. 436 to promote innovation, jobs and growth across our country.

When I ran for office, I made a contract with the people of the 17th District of Illinois, and one of the elements of this contract was to reject the congressional pension.

I have talked to many of my constituents about this issue and am hard pressed to recall one person that believes Congress should receive a pension.
