People have to just take the heat down here. I mean, this is America. This is one of the most amazing places on the planet earth. We should all wake up and be grateful.

My biggest criticism and I think the concern of most of the country is where is the transparency, right? we want to see it.

We want to see it. And one thing I was being very aggressive about was saying, look, if you're going to take unprecedented action, and raid a former President's house, well, you better have a strategy for unprecedented transparency.

The fact that the president would go out and just insult half of America. Effectively call half of America semi-fascist, because he’s trying to stir up controversy.

Look, I`m the first governor in 40 years to sign an abortion ban, right. Republican governors before me never signed that. I`m the -- I`ve done more on the pro-life issue, if you will, than anyone.

I`m a pro-choice governor. I`ve been pro-choice.

My responsibility is not to the gridlock in politics of Washington. It’s to the citizens of New Hampshire.

I don`t want to go to Washington just to participate in Republican gridlock.

My responsibility is not to the gridlock and politics of Washington. It`s to the citizens of New Hampshire and I`d rather push myself 120 miles an hour delivering wins for New Hampshire than to slow down and end up on Capitol Hill debating…

Every one of those vials that is being used for a congressman and senator that has been doing nothing that hasn't been on the frontlines is another vial of vaccine that isn't going to a nurse.

I am not aware of any widespread voter fraud here in New Hampshire.

my amendment deals with affordable housing. This is a very large and complex piece of legislation. I know the members of the Banking Committee and the chairman and ranking member worked hard on this legislation. It deals with a number of…

In calling up this amendment, I wish to make sure this budget resolution effectively addresses the issue of health information technology. I know the issue was addressed, in part, in the construction of the budget resolution, but I think…

This is legislation that I coauthored with Senator Clinton. On the House side, there were Representatives Jan Schakowsky and Peter King who introduced companion legislation. It addresses the issue of known traffic accidents. There were 230…

I begin my remarks this morning by addressing the points made at the close of Senator Corker's remarks. The Senator talked about the need to look at some of our long-term budget problems--Social Security, Medicare, and even our tax…

across America, those citizens who have on occasion chosen--or been required--to listen to congressional debate have often heard the Senate described as an ``Institution.'' It is a term which has been overused and perhaps misused more than…

last week, I was pleased to support passage of the FHA Modernization Act, S. 2338. This legislation will update the FHA program so that it once again is better able to provide many low-income and first-time homebuyers another option as…

on behalf of Hampstead, NH, middle school students, school board officials, board of selectmen, and residents, I rise to honor a fallen hero, U.S. Army Ranger CAPT Jonathan David Grassbaugh, by introducing a bill to designate the United…

it was 8 degrees in Manchester this morning. Home heating oil costs $3.27 per gallon. These are the cold, hard facts of winter in New England--8 degrees; $3.27 per gallon. As we continue debate this week on a comprehensive energy bill…

I wish to conclude first by responding to some of the remarks and the observations made by the Senator from Mississippi. First, there was mention of the Crescent, which is one of the 15 long-distance trains. Under the 2004 Inspector…

I am pleased to be able to stand up tonight...because taxes raise the price of something.

This is not a wholesale privatization of Amtrak--far from it. The provision in the legislation allows two routes under supervision, oversight as described by Senator Lautenberg, to be put out for competitive bid to see if there is another…

The Congress--the Federal Government--tells the States what they can or can't do on taxes all the time; not in every area, to be sure, and we shouldn't in every area. And if this permanent ban on Internet taxes passes, Internet-related…

let me use my portion of time to conclude my remarks. I wish to address some of the points Senator Lautenberg made in his presentation. First, it was suggested that under 2007 data, four routes would have to be shut down if my amendment…

I am happy to view the statement that was made in the form of a question so I can respond. That is what we will have if we invoke cloture tomorrow. We will have a vote on a 4-year extension and a vote on making the ban permanent. We can…
