If that happens, many of the people that are the most vulnerable, less likely to get information from any other source, may not be able to get an emergency alert in the event of an emergency.

Because of that, I am very concerned that the new broadcast spectrum auction... could really pose a problem to many of the people that I represent who are senior citizens or disabled, who are struggling financially.

If the underwear bomber had been successful, a huge commercial aircraft could have blown up right over metropolitan Detroit.

Congress really needs to do much more to better protect our State and local communities, and I will tell you why.

We actually need this type of investment, and that is because our State and our local units of government, they don't have the revenue to be able to provide for the staffing and the equipment that we need to better protect our people.

I completely agree with you--completely. I thank God I was born in this country.

I believe it undermines those religious freedoms that we all cherish in this country.

As a nation, our first priority must be creating good jobs that will allow Americans to support their families.

We cannot afford to make deep funding cuts that emphasize the cost of a program over their true worth.

How can Congress work with you to better protect those high-risk urban areas, such as Metropolitan Detroit, from terrorist attacks?

If we are able to get the resources, the tax dollars we already pay to be returned back here, we can rebuild ourselves and actually create prosperity throughout this country.

We have to have a safe and secure city if we want to attract people and businesses back.

This region and this city has unique assets that create a risk of an attack or would make the consequences of any disaster just devastating.

We can help make this region safe. We can help make this country safe.

I am asking Congress, let us help rebuild this city because we can renew America's economy.

Democrats and Republicans are willing to work together to put you back to work.

This bill is not perfect, but nothing in this country is.

This Employ Act gives people some confidence in themselves by putting them back to work.

When you put our folks in Detroit back to work, you put this country back to work.

This Employ Act would provide the people that I represent a chance to get on-the-job training, but also an opportunity to get a job long-term.

Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thanks for the equal treatment. You know we Democrats do not usually get that in the House of Representatives.
