John Edwards will launch a three-day, eight state tour to call attention to poverty, a key issue for his campaign.

I thank the gentlewoman and particularly want to salute her for her strong support for veterans and, in particular, for PTSD and mental health care studies. As she knows, this bill has a significant increase in funding, historic increase…

I want to thank Mr. Hall for his strong leadership; first, on trying to see that this Congress, which we are going to do in this bill, provides the funding to reduce the terrible backlog of veterans cases pending. As he mentioned, there…

Right. You take $50 million in order to add $22 million, but did the gentleman meet with Veterans Administration leaders, perhaps the Secretary of Health for the VA, and did they request this additional $22 million? Was there a specific…

I would absolutely look forward to working and looking through every nook and cranny in the budget to see if we can squeeze out additional funding for BRAC. I agree with the gentleman from North Carolina that the Department of Defense has…

The American Legion called it ``an impressive commitment to this Nation's servicemembers, veterans and their families.'' The Independent Budget, made up of numerous veterans organizations across the country, said, ``This is a much-needed…

We don't have economic leverage over the Iranians, but the Europeans do, the European banking system does. We should put two options on the table. One carrot, we'll make the nuclear fuel available to you, the international community, but…

I think the state of New Hampshire ought to be able to make that decision for itself like every other state in the country.

I'm here today to raise money.

The campaign goes on. The campaign goes on strongly.
