This motion is an easy one and one that should be accepted by everyone in this Chamber, if they are serious about supporting our troops and supporting our Nation. This is where I say rhetoric meets reality. My motion would instruct the…

I had an opportunity most recently to join a couple of Members from New York and other places around the country to visit the Tongass National Forest. What a treasure that place is. I saw clear-cutting. I saw the damage that has already…

As a woman and a Member of Congress, I am appalled to think that we would cut money for family planning in order to say we are cutting money from abortion. If we have family planning, all around the world we will reduce the number of…

Madam Chairman, the provisions the gentleman seeks to strike does not promote abortion, forced sterilization or any of the other horrible things opponents of UNFPA say it will do. Madam Chairman, the underlying Crowley-Lee provision funds…

right now the Bush administration is in the process of promulgating regulations that would strip overtime pay for many of America's first responders. Yes, after talking tough and continually stating that this White House and Republican…

earlier this week the Bush administration revised the Roadless Area Conservation Rule and exempted millions of acres of forests throughout our country. Included in these revisions are areas I recently had the pleasure of visiting…

I just want to point out for my friends on the other side of the aisle that I was prepared, as were my colleagues earlier this week, to vote in favor of this bill and suspension that would protect lands around the Grand Tetons, Wyoming. In…

during the debate on the tax bill, the Republicans continually stated how the Nation's economic policy should alleviate taxes on the rich as they are the ones doing the so-called creating of wealth, as opposed to the middle-class people…

this debate is all about jobs and job creation. One side has a plan, and the other side has failed ideas that have yet to help America or create one new job. Since George Bush assumed the Presidency, America has seen 2.7 million American…

Is anybody watching this evening? Is anyone watching? Talk about pulling a fast one on the American people in the dead of night. The Republicans are railroading their budget through the House late in the evening after denying Members a…

April 24--two weeks from today--will mark the 88th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, when the government of Turkey systematically massacred 1.5 million Armenians and exile over one million more. This unanswered event set a historical…

I rise to address the vital needs of America's veterans, both of past wars and of our future veterans from the current war. I voted to give our President the authorization to use force against Saddam Hussein, recognizing Saddam's threat to…

immoral. Immoral is the only word I can find to describe the Republican budget that is being forced down our throats this evening. As we go to war, this Republican package includes exactly zero dollars towards the war effort. This budget…

of the over 200,000 men and women who are in and around Iraq this evening, I want to just touch on one person who was highlighted today in the New York Times, Captain Cynthia Brito from Woodside, Queens, my hometown. She is the daughter of…

a lot of people on the other side have one crucial fact wrong--capping medical malpractice awards does not mean insurance rates will fall. I have charts here that compare the average insurance premium for states with damage caps versus the…

people on the other side are trying to pass off caps on medical malpractice awards as good for patients and doctors. In reality, it is only good for insurance companies. The truth is, capping medical malpractice awards does not mean…

the decision to declare war is one of the most important responsibilities our Constitution has charged to us as Members of Congress. As a parent, there is no responsibility that weighs on my mind more heavily than the decision to send our…

The attack on the World Trade Center in September of last year was the attack heard around the world. And much the same way that Lexington, Concord and other events around the world and the shots that were fired, left impressions forever…

Twenty-eight years ago this week, Turkey invaded Cyprus, violating international law and provoking an international outcry. Since June 1974, Turkey has occupied the northern third of this beautiful Mediterranean island--although no other…

9 months ago I stood on this floor and talked about the attack upon my great city, the City of New York. Never before in my 4 years in this Congress had I felt this House and this country more united than at that moment. The pundits began…

if you loved what happened to the people who invested their retirement savings in Enron stock, look out. House Republicans have something even better as a sequel, the privatization of Social Security. They can retitle it all they want as…

this April marks the 87th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, when the Ottoman Empire killed 1.5 million Armenians and exiled over 500,000 more during an eight-year-long reign of terror. By recognizing these events, we can hopefully…

The Republican Party wants to go back to the future to 1981 and President Reagan's voodoo economics. And who is directing this remake? The House Republicans and this administration. In just 1 year, this tax cut we have seen has virtually…
