Cory Booker

I just think something is wrong with that.

I share a lot of the frustrations as expressed, and I appreciate the panelists for enduring what is understandable frustration amongst my colleagues and I.

When I think of defense of this country, it is also this idea that we should be defending people in the homeland from tragedies that are occurring because of an infrastructure that has fallen way behind our global competitors.

The Federal Government has a role to play.

We are obviously here with heavy hearts, and everyone has expressed that from our people giving testimony to other Senators about the regret and condolences we give to the families of those that were killed.

I am proud to join with Senator Boxer to introduce the Police Reporting of Information, Data, and Evidence Act of 2015, PRIDE Act, a critical data collection bill designed to advance public safety, strengthen police-community relations…

We welcome the reintroduction of the Broadband Adoption Act by Rep. Doris Matsui and Senators Chris Murphy and Cory Booker, and the renewed focus it shines on the important issue of broadband adoption.

The network idea, the engagement, is also important, not only for economic reasons, educational reasons, but also citizen participation.

Verizon supports efforts to reform, modernize and add accountability to the Lifeline program, and the bill introduced by Representative Matsui and Senators Murphy and Booker is an important contribution to those efforts.

The lack of affordable broadband service hurts children whose educational opportunities are limited and hampers workers' ability to apply for jobs or establish entrepreneurial businesses.

I want to highlight, Ms. Gonzalez, the urgency for the need of more penetration, more access.

I have been a longtime supporter of Lifeline, and in this sense: because, in my view, there is a role for a social safety net program.

One reason I support Lifeline is because if you implement it properly, it should be... the most targeted means of providing support to those in need.

Americans need broadband Internet to connect with and provide for their families, and we believe this bill is a great step forward for struggling communities.

Universal service actually not only benefits those low-income people that are able then to have access, but it benefits those who can pay because of what we call 'network effects.'

This proposed legislation is timely in light of the Federal Communications Commission's upcoming proceeding considering modernization of the Lifeline program.

I will be forever grateful for the investments that this country made in my future, and I will fight for the rest of my life to give back and make this a better country for everyone in it.

The nation needs a new paradigm for alleviating poverty and promoting opportunity for poor families and communities across America.

This bill would give beneficiaries a third choice: a basic broadband connection.

We appreciate Congresswoman Matsui and Senator Booker for releasing their Lifeline modernization legislation.

I am sensitive, very sensitive to the importance of protecting against overfishing.

Do not mince words, tell me exactly how you feel.

New Jersey is home to at least two fisheries that should be in my opinion a model for the rest of the industry.

I just want to get back to this problem I have begun to appreciate over this last year, and have begun to read more about, which is the problem of bycatch.

I think it is important to shine a spotlight on some of the amazing work that is being done today.
