I rise in strong opposition to this legislative stunt to repeal health care reform, and I'm going to tell you why. There are 600,000 of my fellow Nevadans who have no health insurance. This doesn't mean that they don't get sick. It means…

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…

I've gone through many stages of grief in the last few days. First, I was heartsick at the news. Then I was angry. And now I'm resolved. I am going to do my own ``Congress on the Corner'' in honor of Gabby this coming Friday because…

I don't think there are enough words to express my feelings at this time, and I am sure the words that I have will never be adequate to truly share my grief with my colleagues and with our country. As with all of the Members of Congress…

I rise in enthusiastic support of this legislation. Every year my office receives dozens of calls in May from youngsters 17-18 years old. They have recently graduated from local high schools, been accepted to college--many at UNLV applied…

It is incomprehensible to me that in a country of such wealth and great abundance that we have literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of children going to bed hungry and having to depend on their schools in order to get anything…

We also have to work on our estate tax to pre-2001 levels. I look forward to that discussion with the bill I introduced with Congressman Brady as a basis for the debate. Let's get moving. This is the easy stuff. This we should pass without…

I rise in support of this legislation. Today's vote is an affirmation of this Congress' commitment to middle class Americans and a crucial step in getting our economy back on track. This tax cut extension does not exclude anyone. What it…

The incoming House leadership has signaled that they are once again resurrecting Yucca Mountain as a solution to this Nation's nuclear waste problem. This is the height of insanity. Let me remind my colleagues on the other side of the…
