This amendment offered by myself and my colleagues would strike section 625 of this bill and, if adopted, would allow the SEC to write regulations requiring corporations to disclose their political contributions. This amendment would not…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Strike section 625. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 794, the gentleman from Michigan (Mr…

Fundamentally, this amendment is simply about the right of the American people to know who is influencing the elections that determine the leadership in this country. This legislation, as presented, would actually prohibit the SEC from…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Michigan will be postponed. Amendment No. 14 Offered by Ms. Eshoo The Acting CHAIR. It is…

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Michigan has 3\1/2\ minutes remaining.

Are the corporate contributions made under the provisions that we are speaking of disclosed to the Federal Election Commission? Corporate spending under the Citizens United case, for example; are those disclosed by corporations to the FEC?

Congress has no greater responsibility than acting to keep the American people safe. That is why House Democrats, focused on a strong and smart national security plan, have repeatedly made attempts to close a dangerous loophole that allows…

Like my colleagues and so many Americans, I am horrified by the brutal act of terror that killed 49 people, including Tevin Crosby, a 25-year-old man from my district, and that wounded so many others in Orlando. I stand with the loved ones…

Republicans in Congress have failed to pass a budget or to adequately address the health crises that we have brewing in this country, including one in my own hometown of Flint, Michigan. Now, this week, Speaker Ryan is trying to distract…

Today is Foster Youth Shadow Day. It is a day that gives Members of Congress a chance to spend time with young adults from our districts who have grown up in the foster care system. I always enjoy this day because it gives me a chance to…

I thank my friend for offering this amendment and for yielding to me. I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the previous question so we can immediately bring up H.R. 4479, which, as described, is the Families of Flint Act. We all know…

Last week we learned that the Republican presumptive nominee, Donald Trump, actually rooted for the collapse of the housing market just before the Great Recession wrecked our economy. In 2007, before the crash, Donald Trump said he was…

The families I represent in Flint, Michigan, are still suffering from an ongoing water crisis that left their water tainted with lead and unsafe to drink. When Americans face a humanitarian crisis, we come together to act, to provide them…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 277, noes 147, not voting 9, as follows: [Roll No. 216] AYES--277…

I thank my friend for yielding. Mr. Chair, for many years, the Air Force used perfluorinated chemicals in its compound for firefighting foam, but in the past few years, very high levels of these PFCs have been discovered in the fish near…

My hometown of Flint is still facing a crisis: 100,000 people still cannot turn on their tap and have access to safe drinking water. This Congress faces a multitude of public health crises--Zika, the opioid epidemic--but Congress must also…

I have pushed that the Fed use all of its tools to meet the obligations regarding stable prices but most importantly, I think, particularly in the areas I represent, to maximize employment.

I think it is important that we take a broader view regarding the resources that can be used to invest, particularly in distressed communities and cities, which have been the focus of a lot of my work.

Here we are back again, another week in Congress where Republicans in Congress continue to fail to do their job to act to protect American families in crisis. Whether it is the ongoing water crisis in my hometown of Flint or the threat of…

I thank my friend, the ranking member, for yielding. I also want to thank the folks on both sides of the aisle for their great work on this Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, particularly my colleague from Michigan, Congresswoman Miller…

So far this House of Representatives has done nothing to help the people of my hometown of Flint, Michigan. I left Flint this morning, and I left behind a city of 100,000 people who for 2 years now have not been able to drink the water…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX and the order of the House of today, further proceedings on this question will be postponed. ____________________

This is the final amendment to the bill, which will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to final passage, as amended. This Republican bill is unnecessary because the IRS already, as…

I am opposed. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Kildee moves to recommit the bill H.R. 1206 to the Committee on Ways and Means with instructions to report the same back to…

Last week the House Republican leadership blew past the deadline to adopt the budget. Instead of coming together to enact a budget that invests in American jobs, grows our economy, and builds the paychecks of American workers, Republicans…
