I mistakenly voted ``aye'' on rollcall No. 603. My intention was to vote ``no.'' Personal Explanation
What is a very potentially strong boon to our economy is the development of our abundance of sun and wind and geothermal.
We need to stand up on behalf of the unemployed workers in Nevada and the Nation as a whole and say, Enough is enough.
The idea that we are somehow afraid of a trade war with the Chinese is a joke to me.
I call on our leadership in Congress to drop its opposition to closing taxpayer-funded loopholes that encourage corporations to ship American jobs overseas.
The unfair practices of the Chinese government are cheating American workers out of their jobs.
Instead of embracing a new twist on an old game, our inaction has led Americans to spend their money offshore and at their own peril.
We need a robust debate on whether Internet gaming should be legalized in the U.S., and if so, we will need an oversight structure put in place to ensure consumers the strongest possible safeguards.
It is my great pleasure to welcome Representative Amodei to Congress. Our new colleague is a native son of Nevada and a graduate of the University of Nevada, where he served in the ROTC program and later served on active duty in the Army…
A third of the seniors that I represent have no other income but that Social Security check. They depend on it.
Make no mistake: the Yucca Mountain project was born of politics starting with the infamous 1987 screw Nevada bill.
I don't know who you met with but I can tell you the latest polls show that 77 percent of the people of the State of Nevada don't want nuclear waste stored at Yucca Mountain.
Let us get right to the point. Nevadans have been saying no to Yucca Mountain for decades, and we will continue shouting no at the top of our lungs until this effort to shove nuclear waste down our throats has ended.

I can't remember one person in the last year, 2 years, 10 years or 12 years that I have been serving in Congress, coming to me and asking me to please make it even more difficult for a woman to get the proper health insurance in case she…
If we could bring down the corporate rates to 27, 28 percent across the board, get rid of all the tax extenders, the tax breaks, the tax credits, it would add to predictability and simplicity.
I don't think you need to be a genius to figure out that the Tax Code is bloated and it is very complex.
I agree with my colleagues that reforming the tax system is critical to the long-term health of our economy.
I am a great proponent of earmarks, although they seem to have fallen out of fashion lately.
Finally, for those who are truly concerned about the deficit, the CBO, the nonpartisan arm of Congress, explicitly stated that repeal will cost $260 billion over 10 years. It appears that those who shout the loudest about the deficit want…
ABC strongly supports full repeal of this tax filing mandate to alleviate the increased reporting and paperwork requirements on small businesses.
