I brought a big picture of Ardel Hale Baker to the Floor of the Senate to say here's the woman on whose leg they masked-taped an eight-by-ten piece of paper as they hauled her in the hospital having a heart attack, saying, 'If you let her…

Even if that were not the case, there are other problems that I think lead all of us to understand this system doesn't work very well.

Don't get sick after June, because by June we're out of contract health care money.

I know that there is substantial use of contract health funds here in this area of Nevada.

I think there are a lot of very wonderful people working for the Indian Health Service.

That, in my judgment is shameful.

although September is coming to a close, we are right in the middle of Hispanic Heritage Month. Every fall we recognize how the invaluable contributions America's 47 million Latinos--Americans with roots in dozens of nations--strengthen…

the 111th Congress will be recorded as one of the country's most historic. It will be rightfully remembered for the landmark legislation we passed to help our economy recover from recession and to help Americans afford to recover from…

on Tuesday, September 7, 2010, John Kluge passed away at a family home in Charlottesville, VA. He was 95. Mr. Kluge was a successful businessman who parlayed the money he earned from a Fritos franchise into a multibillion-dollar…

when the earthquake on Wall Street sent shockwaves throughout the country, Nevada got hit the worst. The economic collapse took down our housing and job markets along with it. When so many Nevadans lost their jobs, they lost much more than…

before we get into the business of the day, I wish to take a minute, while the Chaplain of the Senate is here, Admiral Black, to comment on really a remarkable afternoon. Ted Stevens, who served in the Senate for many decades, was laid to…

one piece of unfinished business we have here in the Senate is to move a series of good, commonsense bills that would benefit wildlife and domestic animals. These wildlife conservation and animal welfare bills have already passed the House…

I rise today to recognize the 25th anniversary and great impact of the Nevada Opera Theatre in Las Vegas, NV. A pillar in the arts, education and entertainment in southern Nevada, we are proud of the Nevada Theatre Opera and its many…

I rise before the Senate today to call attention to one of Nevada's finest advocacy programs. This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the Court Appointed Special Advocate Program, CASA. In Clark County, NV, the CASA program became a…

I have followed very closely his career. I have read his book--he has written a number, but I read the book about his life--and it was fascinating, about his prosecutorial skills in Pennsylvania. We all know of his academic approach to the…

the most important part of our jobs as Senators is to create jobs in our States. That is especially true in times such as these, when so many are reeling from so much economic pain. Right now, as I speak, the President is signing into law…

sometimes all it takes to be a hero is to do your job the way you are supposed to do that job. A few days after New Year's, a deranged gunman walked into the Lloyd D. George Federal building in downtown Las Vegas. In addition to housing…

There has been a lot of wasted time in the Senate. But it hasn't been because of the majority. We have had to answer to more than 100 filibusters, which have eaten up weeks and weeks of our time, when we should have been talking about jobs…

I rise today to recognize the extraordinary work of Peggy L. Greenberg, director of the Office of Education and Training, who is retiring at the end of this month after 11 years. Peggy has been responsible for the training and development…

America has one of the safest and most abundant food supplies in the world, but it is not perfect. Foodborne illnesses sicken one in every four people every year. Twenty-five percent of people get sick from foodborne illnesses every year…

the debate this morning will be related to the Citizens United case. That is the case where the Supreme Court changed more than 100 years of precedent in the United States, which in the past had totally prevented corporations from being…

I want everyone within the sound of my voice to understand how much I appreciate--and the thousands and thousands of other people who appreciate--Senator Durbin's advocacy of this issue. I also want everyone else within the sound of my…
