Martin Heinrich

To hand out tax breaks to the wealthiest among us, Republicans are not only taking health insurance away from millions of Americans, but they are wasting an opportunity to invest in our people and our communities.

The Republican tax bill moving through the Senate adds 13 million to the ranks of the uninsured to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy and special interests.

Thank you, Chairman.

I'm concerned that we may be putting the brakes on too soon.

I know that the Federal Open Market Committee has not yet made a decision on an interest rate hike next month.

Too many rural and tribal areas are struggling to get back to where they were a decade ago.

Unfortunately, the economic situation is probably even more polarized today.

Your leadership at the Federal Reserve has played a key role in helping the economy recover from the financial crisis.

USET SPF commends Senator Martin Heinrich, and cosponsors, for the introduction of the STOP Act.

We also extend our gratitude to Senator Martin Heinrich and the several sponsors who introduced the STOP Act.

I find it deeply troubling to learn that almost ten months into a new Administration that the Department of the Interior itself has not looked into what policy changes are necessary to stop the trafficking of sacred tribal objects.

It is urgent. I cannot express how urgent it is to me. The Shield must come home.

This bill's strong bipartisan support gives me hope that we can solve this problem for tribal communities that we represent in the very near future.

I believe a comprehensive assessment of IHS is necessary first, as a necessary first step to making calculated and systemic changes at IHS.

The trust responsibility does not end with IHS and it does not end with BIA.

Helping fulfill the Federal trust responsibility is absolutely critical to me.

I appreciate our partnership on this and many other issues affecting tribes and Native Americans.

I think we need to be careful about what doors we are opening today because we will not be able to undo this once a substantial reserve is found.

Our people think of this place as the heart, you know.

You said this is the sacred place where life begins.

Well, it is not emerging. It emerged.

I mean, the chairman has been asking for an overall plan for I do not know how long.

I agree wholeheartedly. You should not limit yourself to responding in kind with the same level of--or with the same toolbox.

I think if you want to go down this slope of picking winners and losers without letting the markets make those decisions, it may take you places you did not expect to go.

I agree that our tax code must be simpler for families and small businesses.
