It's crystal clear that the current spike in gas prices is at least partly due to an act of greed.
I rise to offer a personal explanation. Today, I was unavoidably detained at Newark International Airport, due to the later arrival of an inbound plane, while traveling back for votes on Rollcall votes Nos. 521-523. Therefore, I was unable…
First, in 1997 and 1998, we disclosed the top line and we did not risk the national security of the United States.
I would be here lauding and applauding your initiative on the Mexico migration agreement if in fact you would have a single but very powerful difference in your wording; and that is, instead of, after 2 years of significant talks and…
Monopolies of any kind are not good for commerce and media monopolies are not healthy for our democracy.
It would be unconscionable to allow it to do so without substantial and pervasive conditions against the threat it poses to competition, diversity, and democracy.
I think we owe America's young men and women who went into harm's way, that before we call upon them again for a preemptive strike, that we are doing so based upon sound information, that we are based on intelligence that is honest…
This amendment simply restores EPA's enforcement budget to current levels. Without these funds, the EPA's ability to enforce the Nation's environmental laws will be greatly reduced. If we pass this appropriation without adopting this…
I think the gentleman clearly recognizes that if we have a set of rules that protect workers today and we repeal them we are taking away a right they presently have.
I urge the New York District of the Corps of Engineers to work closely with my office and NJIT
The Republican plan is a cruel hoax that fails my mother and seniors across the country. We have one of the largest budget surpluses in our Nation's history, and Republicans would prefer to give it away in tax cuts to the wealthy. But that…
As Republicans deny us a chance to offer real prescription benefit under Medicare, I think of my mother and the millions of seniors like her across this country who may not understand Washington politics, but know all too well the every…
The Woodbridge-Perth Amboy chapter has been a leader and a model for other Rotary clubs in addressing local and worldwide social concerns.
Members of the Woodbridge-Perth Amboy Rotary Club have remained committed not only to the people of the 13th Congressional District of New Jersey, but have extended their compassion throughout the world.

If the Republicans really believed the surplus belongs to the American people, they would listen to the voices of those people.
Because we know this Government does belong to them and they are demanding that we exercise some real fiscal discipline, pay down the national debt, and extend the life of Social Security and Medicare.
It is we Democrats who are listening to the voices and values of America's working families.
Republicans, on the other hand, are listening to all the special interests and high-priced Washington lobbyists, who are telling them to waste the surplus on a trillion dollar tax giveaway.
That is why we are listening to the American people, who are telling us that their values is to use the surplus to pay down the national debt and to save Social Security and Medicare.
The surplus belongs to the American people. They are the ones who have paid for it. They are the ones who worked for it.
Politicians like Bob Menendez
