Michelle Fischbach

I don't need to be an expert to know that this has to be dealt with, that we are in real trouble here.

The story of the gray wolf is really the story of the failure of the Federal Government.

I am disturbed by my colleagues who are shameless enough to argue in favor of anti-Semitism. It is not covered by the First Amendment. It is hateful. Universities have been rewarding bad behavior and punishing the ones being attacked, who…

I thank my colleague from Texas for yielding me the time and for bringing this piece of legislation forward. Mr. Speaker, we know that investing in preventive care benefits an individual's health and pocketbook in the long run…

I am here today to express Delta's strong support for the HEN ACT and to thank Congresswoman Fischbach, Congressman LaMalfa, and Congressman Thompson for their leadership on this critical piece of legislation.

The undersigned organizations which represent millions of hunters, anglers, wildlife professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts are writing to express our support for the Habitat Enhancement Now Act (HEN Act) (H.R. 6854).

This bill is a common-sense way to bolster duck populations for generations of future outdoor enthusiasts.

I would like to thank all of the great partners that I have had in introducing this legislation, including Mr. Thompson and Mr. LaMalfa.

We greatly appreciate the leadership of Representative Fischbach, Representative LaMalfa and Representative Thompson for the introduction of the HEN Act.

I agree completely with Congressman Fischbach that duck hunting is a way of life throughout California and Minnesota down to Louisiana.

True sportsmen and hunters are conservationists who understand the importance of maintaining healthy waterfowl population levels.

H.R. 6854, a bipartisan bill offered by Congresswoman Fischbach, would create two new grant programs designed to enhance the breeding habitat for waterfowl.

We are already getting reports that we are having illegal crossing there.

I think it is so important that we have these meetings and we are out and about and we are actually looking at the border, not just talking about it.

I want to comment that rules and rulemaking is one of the things that I hear from my constituents. It is one of the most important things that they talk about and call me about when they have concerns. I think H.R. 357 simply makes the…

This is often because these areas either lack or have outdated basic community infrastructure like hospitals, childcare centers, and senior care centers.

I strongly urge the Committee to reject misguided and harmful attacks on this program and protect it for the next generation of sugarbeet and cane farmers across the country and especially in western Minnesota.

I encourage the Committee to include this important legislation that helps build strong rural communities in the upcoming farm bill.

We spend billions on disaster assistance not offset outside the farm bill to compensate farmers for disasters.

As a college student, there is nothing--you should not be having to deal with and face this on college campuses.

Let me echo some of the things that the chairman said regarding protecting the farmers. We have to protect the farmers. It is a national security issue. It is a food issue. It is a fuel issue. It is important that we make sure that we get…

May I inquire how much time is remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Minnesota has 1 minute remaining.

I feel that there is no issue in being duplicative and very clear on what we are trying to accomplish with this amendment because it is important to make sure that we are protecting the farmers, those people, like I said before, who feed…

I have to mention again, we have legislation in front of us that will honor our law enforcement officers. When we go off on tangents and talk about what words are there and what words are not there, the simple fact is, a ``yes'' vote on…

I urge all of my colleagues not to make excuses about this legislation, not to say that it doesn't have this, it has this, or you changed this because they are playing word games. The public is watching, and law enforcement officers are…
