I thank the chairman for yielding time to speak on an important issue that the Retail Investor Protection Act addresses. Employee Stock Ownership Plans provide good jobs and secure retirements in my home State, the Commonwealth of…

I very much appreciate the strong words of support from my friend from Florida. I now yield 3 minutes to the chairman of the Education and the Workforce Committee, the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Kline), my friend.

As my friend from Florida said, we were able to work together--House and Senate, Republicans and Democrats--for a very important issue. And I want to thank my colleagues who were here speaking to the importance of H.R. 3092, the E. Clay…

I thank the gentlelady for yielding. It seems there's no shortage of red flags regarding ObamaCare. The one-size-fits-all health care law is proving to be disastrous for consumers, for employers and health care providers alike. Just last…

I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 1120. This bill is important for our employers, employees, and our Constitution. It has already been said, but I'd like to make that point again: the President does…
