I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Conyers on this important bill. Years ago, when we were having those meetings where the legislation was being crafted, we both knew what an important moment it would be for the…

my colleagues, yes, we're looking at an anniversary of Iraq here. But let's talk about things that the American people can relate to immediately. Cost of eggs going up 35 percent in the last year, cost of milk going up about 23 percent…

I would ask that all of our colleagues join us in paying respect, appreciation, and gratitude to the life and the service of Corporal Bradley Arms by joining us in approving this resolution which honors his name by naming a United States…

I just want to add one note of observation so that all those who are enjoying watermelons in this country also keep in mind the people who do the work, who pick those watermelons. It is hard work. Today we have other bills under suspension…

I'm hopeful that when this resolution passes, as I'm sure it will, that the United States Postal Service will post a copy of it in every post office in the country so that our letter carriers will be able to see that Members of Congress…

all those of us who chose to be in elected office realize that we can't do our jobs unless there is a vast array of people who are in every category of employment, doing their jobs. And those workers in many cases, are people who are…

I support this resolution. I am from Cleveland, Ohio, and all of us know in any community we are from, we come into contact with funeral directors and morticians. Funeral directors make it possible for families to be able to find a way to…

we're honoring workers today, and it's appropriate, among those workers, that we single out letter carriers. As a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, I'm pleased to join my colleagues in support of H. Res. 49…

The high cost of gasoline is troubling all Americans. $3.50 a gallon, approaching $120 a barrel. Now I just would respectfully suggest that the administration has a lot to do with this. This administration, which has a great familiarity…

my amendment will allow the public to know if a State or local government receiving funds from this act has been successful in its efforts to identify the source of the pathogenic pollution. The problems created by contaminated surface…

elections are the bedrock of our republic. Our capacity to function as a tripartite government of co-equal branches rests in the public's assurance that those of us entrusted to administer and legislate assumed our offices through free…

the President's representative from the military is on Capitol Hill urging us to continue to stay in Iraq, telling us to wait, don't leave. What are we waiting for, until the cost of the war reaches $6 trillion, so that our American…

The gentleman, in his long experience in the House, could he communicate to those who have, in my case, been in this House 12 years or less, anytime in your experience where the House has debated legislation in secret?

When I asked the question if you are aware of whether or not anything like this has happened before, we are talking about specific legislation that is before this House, would the gentleman know what the precedent for this is? Is this…

And the debate that will take place regarding the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, what would conceivably be the nature of that debate?

we are at the fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq, a war based on lies. A war that has cost the lives of over 4,000 of our brave young men and women, the injuries to tens of thousands, over 1 million innocent Iraqis have perished, a cost…

I rise in support of the Progressive Caucus budget because it includes home foreclosure relief. The foreclosure crisis is at the epicenter of our economic slowdown, and northeast Ohio is among the hardest hit in the Nation. Hardworking…

The Center for Public Integrity, in a report released today, has found the Bush administration led the Nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and it culminated in military action against Iraq on…

over the past few years this administration has been beating the drums of war against Iran. There are parallels against their efforts to try to create a war against Iran and the falsehoods that set us on the path to war against Iraq. We…

Kucinich told his supporters to caucus for Obama as their second choice.

That's because I read it.

I did. And the rest of the account -- it was an unidentified flying object.

Democratic Contender Dennis Kucinich has pushed the idea for months, but this time Republicans demanded a vote.
