I thank my friend for yielding. You bring up a very valid point. Over the weekend, I was at the William Pearson Community Center in my district, which is a tax preparation site for the Las Vegas Urban League. It was packed. There was not a…
I appreciate you providing this historical context because, as you indicate, a lot of times on this floor we tend to focus on the rhetoric of the day and not the facts of the matter. As you have well illustrated here, if it were not for…
What happened here today was an ongoing theatrics to continue the partisanship about relitigating an election that is over.
During the 2012 election we saw lines stretching so long that people couldn't even get to vote.
In my opinion, political activity should be strictly limited based on the statute.
Their conclusion was actually that we need to expand early voting to help voters.
I'm not here as a Democratic; I'm here as a representative of the constituents of Nevada's fourth that elected me to serve them.
I thank the gentleman from Florida for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the previous question and allow us to vote on legislation to address the Nation's concerns about flood insurance and to come up with a…
It's unfortunate that, one, our Ranking Member Mr. Cummings was attacked in this hearing.
the reinsurance program will help health plans meet the needs of high-cost enrollees who previously have not had health insurance coverage, while making individual market premiums more affordable for consumers.
I appreciate the panel this morning and this hearing, but one of the areas that I would like to focus on, since I am towards the end of this hearing, is on the significant changes within the Affordable Care Act dealing with preexisting…
I really think that we need to, again, get away from the rhetoric, look at the facts.
I think the President was exactly right when he said last week middle-class kids don't get locked up for smoking pot; poor kids do.
I thank my good friend, a strong advocate for the people of his district in New York as well as representing the interests of all Americans, and for your leadership in coanchoring this hour on behalf of the Congressional Black Caucus…
And I appreciate yours. Just to reinforce the point you were making, this chart illustrates the very facts of the matter. Why is it okay that Wall Street profits are at record highs over the last 3 years since 2009, at 720 percent, but it…
``They need our assistance in these difficult times, and we cannot let them down.'' The unemployment rate then was 6 percent. It is much higher now. That Congress voted 416-4 to extend unemployment benefits, and under George W. Bush they…
I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the previous question, so we finally have a chance to bring up unemployment insurance, which is what the majority of Americans want us to be addressing at this time. It is completely insensitive…
It is completely insensitive, unjust, and flat out wrong that Congress would deny the now more than 1.4 million Americans unemployment insurance, including over 18,000 Nevadans. Mr. Speaker, this is the week that checks stop coming in the…
I thank the gentlelady from Texas. I appreciate very much you bringing to our attention who is covered by unemployment insurance and putting a face to who is receiving this insurance. I am glad you focused on that term ``insurance'' and…
I appreciate very much the gentleman from New York--the coanchor--and the chronology and the facts that you have laid out to make the case that, unfortunately, it is not just the unemployment insurance benefits that have been under attack…
I thank the gentleman from New Jersey. Again, I commend you for raising your voice and urging this body to do its job on behalf of your constituents, the people of New Jersey who elected you to bring their perspective to this Congress. You…
I appreciate this designated hour at the beginning of this week for the Congressional Black Caucus, as it normally does, to come to this floor to bring forward issues that are very important to the American people. Tonight I join with my…
I come to the floor today to remember Assemblyman Bernie Anderson of Sparks, Nevada, who passed away last Friday. Bernie was a true public servant, not just as a lawmaker, but as an educator as well. For 32 years, he was a dedicated…
I would like to thank the gentlelady from New York. Thank you for your hard work and for bringing your perspective to the need for extending the unemployment insurance benefits to the 1.3 million Americans who, as of this week, have now…
