The amendment before you takes rescinded funds, increases the amount of State Trouble Assistance Grants to make sure that we can really fund our water and sewer infrastructure. The continuing resolution really deals a death low to our…

Here we are, it's mid-February. The Republicans took control. They won the election in November on an agenda of trying to create jobs for the American people. Two months into after being sworn in, here we are now--still haven't created a…

One of the things that we don't talk about very often is that there are different ways that people choose to serve. Some choose to serve in elected office. Some choose to serve in uniform. Judge Roll chose to serve in our judiciary. It is…

I am actually disappointed that I am standing on the floor of the House of Representatives today yet again defending and protecting the rights of the American people to health care. It is such a shame that yesterday and the day before for…

I stand today in strong opposition to Republican attempts to repeal and dismantle our health care law, the law that Congress has passed to give health care to the American people. This repeal bill may fulfill an empty campaign promise, but…

I want to say in closing, today I began with a story of a young woman who is very close to me. Her name is Annie. She is such a delight. Well, in the spring she was diagnosed with leukemia. She will be 28 years old in February. When she…

Well, I thank the gentleman. I think that is right. You look at so many things that can be prevented if only people were able to get their preventive care. Today what we did in this House, what the majority did in this House, is so sad…

I'm so pleased to join you today and to talk about health care. And I feel very personally about health care, as somebody who went for a long time without any health care coverage and worried like Americans do all across this country. They…

I am so pleased to be here again. I have been here in the House on this floor for the last hour and a half because I feel passionately, as we all do, about health care. There is not one among us, either personally, as the gentleman from…

I wonder about those taxpayers who go to work every day but who, through no fault of their own, can't afford to buy health insurance even though they work every day and they pay taxes every day. I thought, well, under the Affordable Care…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. And it occurred to me as we heard this discussion--and thank you to Mr. Courtney for raising these issues with us, Mr. Speaker. Because it occurred to me that while we should be spending our time focused…

The shocking announcement tonight, the latest on that, how she's coping. Her estranged husband, John Edwards, now at her side.

There have been a sizable number of subpoenas issued.

Falling in love with you could really (EXPLETIVE DELETED) up my plans for becoming president.

a potential political bombshell. Reports that John Edwards may soon admit to fathering his mistress's child and that he promised Rielle Hunter an extravagant wedding.

I intend to -- to do the same thing I have always done with Elizabeth. We have been married 30 years, known each other longer than that. And we will -- we will be in this every step of the way together.

I know that it's not possible that this child could be mine because of the timing of events. So I know it's not possible. Happy to take a paternity test and would love to see what happens.

I intend to do the same thing I've always done with Elizabeth. We've been married 30 years, known each other longer than. And we will be in this every step of the way together.

Rielle Hunter in federal court today. John Edwards' former mistress there to open questions before a grand jury investigating how the former senator and two-time presidential candidate used campaign finances.

though, it's too soon to tell just what the future holds but imagines his role would be more of an advocate, like Al Gore, rather than an elected office.

It has been nine months since former presidential candidate John Edwards admitted he had an affair with a woman he hired to make campaign videos. Now federal investigators are looking into payments for those videos to see if Edwards…

We have not asked very much, so under the Federal Rules of Evidence, what has happened is the way Rule 702 is written and has been applied, experience counts.

I don't want anyone making a decision without great public knowledge and taxpayer understanding.

I want to thank you personally, Mr. Wamp, for your tremendous leadership and a lot of the very positive accomplishments of this subcommittee last year.
