Joyce Beatty

I want the headlines to read that Beatty wants business diversity in banks.

I can honestly say that I have not always voted the same, but she has always been fair with me.

It is not where we stand in the time of comfort and convenience, it is the actions that we take in the times of challenges and controversy.

I oppose that legislation.

In closing, I would simply like to say, again, thank you to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, and I want to thank all the members who helped us get this bill to this point and reiterate that this bill does not--does not--remove…

I have worked with my colleague on the other side of the aisle, Mr. Rothfus, to introduce legislation...

Let me end with this: We have been quoting the Bible. God will repay each person according to the work they do.

There is something we agree on, and thank you for your statement that we are in a very dangerous place now and we can only be torn apart from the inside.

I am concerned that we don't discriminate.

When we opened the session, today, I believe it was our Chairman that started with words like, I believe that words matter. Let me just say, I certainly believe that words matter--talked about diversity of words.

Will zeroing out the funding for the Public Housing Capital Fund assist HUD and public housing authorities around the country to eradicate lead-based paint exposure within affordable housing?

Maybe one of the things that we can continue to work on is for Congress to be more engaged in the actual housing finance reform.

I want to thank both of you, and I'd also, Madam Chair, would just like to conclude, because we do spend a lot of time here and we are fortunate to have a Chairwoman of Oversight that allows us to get engaged.

What is the number one thing that you are going to do to change to help consumers?

Can you explain the benefits Nationwide's depository institution provides to your business, your customers, and why you have made a decision to not get rid of it?

Seems like a lot of regulations to me.

If this bill were to become law would you still be regulated by the Ohio Department of Insurance and all other States you do business in?

I know I speak on behalf of my other two colleagues and you may later tell my two Republicans that I spoke for them today, in thanking you.

I appreciate your comments.

The legislation by Representatives Rothfus and Beatty clarifies the Congressional intent of Dodd-Frank...

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. More importantly, I thank her for her amendment. As the lead Democrat sponsor of this bill, I proudly join her with that amendment. Like my colleague Congresswoman Roby said, it is always good when you…

It shows how the legislative process can be used to result in a better product. The bill now has the support not only of the trafficking victims' advocates, but also of law enforcement and many of the internet and tech companies. So…

I want to hear how we can do more, because it is still not at bragging rights, in my opinion.

We have been in this fight and we will continue to be in that fight together.

I can tell you Congresswoman Ann Wagner is at the top of the list of being the biggest advocate.
