As Admiral Mullen has said, it is troubling that men and women from our country have to lie about who they are to defend the truth and freedom of our war. The courts have spoken. The military leadership have spoken. Our military has…

Today I rise in recognition of a man with a dedicated vision not just for himself, but for his life's work. My constituent, Dr. Brian Mathie of Louisville, Ohio, has a commitment to a lifetime of healthy vision for all Ohio residents. He…

The American people are watching. While we may wear different jerseys, we are supposed to be playing for America, and this vote today is about whether we are going to stand up and fight for Americans. Just last week, the Chinese Government…

There's an adage that we often say in aviation, that you train like you fly, and you fly as you train. And aviators know that the practice that we do prepares us for situations where we find ourselves in compromised circumstances. And we…

In section 208 of this bill, we will change that, and we will make sure that pilots are having simulator training, and that they're going to recognize and avoid stalls of aircrafts and recover from stalls as part of their simulator…

Mr. Speaker, today, we are talking about what is in a family's heirlooms, their possessions. I know the Republican would like to draw this into a long debate about how we got into this mess, but I will remind the gentleman that, on day one…

In closing, I would remind the gentleman as well on the other side that it was a Republican-controlled Congress and a Republican President who allowed us to get $11 trillion in debt when the last Democratic-controlled White House had a…

Today I rise in recognition of two great cities of Wooster and Medina in Ohio who are working hard to bring jobs to my northeastern Ohio district. The national Site Selection magazine recently announced its annual rankings of States with…

I have always been told that leadership is about action, not position. But when you hear the position on the other side of the aisle that we need to stand up for big Wall Street banks, we need to stand up and apologize to BP and Big Oil…

The people of our country have spoken time and time again: They want less money in politics, not more. And what I hear from our colleagues on the other side is that we should roll back 100 years of legislative action by this body. The…

Thank you. It's an honor to join my colleagues here on the House floor to talk about how we got here, where we're going, and what we're doing to put our country back on track. You know, you bring up a great point. We hear from the other…

Today, I rise to acknowledge two businesses in my Ohio district helping to combat the BP oil disaster in the gulf and creating jobs. Stanwood Boomworks in Massillon, Ohio, is one of 10 companies in the country producing oil booms designed…

Thank you. I thank the gentlemen here today for talking about how we can get our economy back on track and put America back to work. We're beginning to see the signs of economic recovery. Ten successive months of manufacturing growth has…

Instead of giving the keys back, we should revoke the license, quite frankly, because these numbers are stark. And I have children who are going to have to pay for this. You have children who are going to have to pay for this. Let's…

Well, what do we invest in, Congressman Tonko? We invest in our greatest asset in America, and that's our people. We want to invest in our people, workforce retraining, investing in jobs in our economy, putting people back to work. Putting…

I agree with so much that has been said here tonight; that America has to be the producers of wealth, not just the movers of wealth. We have to build things here in this country. We have to invest in our workforce. We have to invest in…

The choice that they are making is not to lead. So I think that when it comes to the matter of the economy, we are trying to put our country back on track, and I think we have passed some very good measures here. So setting the fair rules…

Absolutely. And our Web site is Boccieri.house.gov. That's B-o-c-c-i-e-r-i.house.gov. Please join our Facebook there and leave us your comments as well. I enjoyed this conversation and dialogue we had. Let's work together to put America…

Well, leadership is about action, not just political position, as I have said before. And we can win elections by taking comfortable votes and maneuver, but that's not real leadership. We come here to get things done. The American people…

I thank the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Moore) and the committee for their work on this important bill that recognizes the service of our strong military members who find themselves on multiple rotations, and some of those who find…

I applaud all my Members for being here, because there is one singular issue that I hear over and over again in my Midwest district in Ohio: we need to be the producers of wealth. We need to build things here, not just move wealth. And…

Can you believe it? The United States House of Representatives under Democrat majorities have delivered the largest tax reductions in America's history to middle class families. That's right. Ninety-five percent of American workers got a…

Today I rise in recognition of the recent 60th anniversary of the Toastmasters Club 767 located in Alliance, Ohio, where I live. The Toastmasters, now an international club with members in China and India, has given some 250,000 Americans…

Can you imagine that the Democratic leadership in the United States Congress has given the largest tax cut to middle class America? Well, that is certainly not the narrative that you hear out there on the television shows and some of the…
