just yesterday, the Columbus Dispatch, the second largest paper in my State, reported that one single Cincinnati-based corporation gave more than $450,000 to Karl Rove's outfit. Lest we forget, Karl Rove was the very political person in…

I would add that a major manufacturer that leaves from Minneapolis or leaves from Cleveland or from North Dakota is a company that has the resources to do that, and that company has a multitude of component manufacturers in its supply…

I wish to talk about something that is more bipartisan, in a sense, and is every bit more disturbing; that is, 10 years ago this month, the Senate sold out American manufacturing. Ten years ago this month, by a vote of 83 to 15, the Senate…

Complexity is not an excuse for years of inaction.

I have been fortunate enough to serve for almost 31 years now, and am still serving in the Army National Guard.

In August, Senators Mark Begich and Sherrod Brown introduced Senate bill 3704.

Waiting for a causal link after 40 years is just another way of telling veterans no.

We must work together to correct this injustice.

Making good on our promise to repay those sacrifices is one that will never change.

We have a solemn duty and moral obligation to our veterans.

the cost of caring for the veteran is a non-negotiable cost of war, as Senator Sanders said.

Do you consider people who cross our border without proper authority or paperwork to be here illegally?

This continued undervaluation--which most economists agree is in the range of 25 to 40 percent--has caused serious harm to the U.S. economy and has cost American jobs.

last Wednesday, September 8, was a great day for Youngstown, OH, for my State, and for our country. On that day, the Chevy Cruze, a new car by General Motors--a high-mileage, medium-priced, lower priced car from Chevrolet--came off the…

There is no question if the auto industry had failed and gone under--and it was close to that happening, as we all know--and if the conservative politicians in this body and down the hall had their way, it would have collapsed and it would…

Ohio has been devastated in the last few years with the loss of manufacturing jobs, many of them going overseas.

I rise to express strong support and to echo the comments of the previous speaker before Senator Landrieu, Senator Casey, for the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. Chairwoman Lincoln has led the reauthorization efforts--chairing…

I rise today to honor some 30 members of the Armed Forces who were killed in action serving our country. Five years ago this week, 19 marines from the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment lost their lives while serving in Iraq. It was one…

The next required Semiannual Report on International Economic and Exchange Rate Policies from the Treasury Department must be objective and designate any country as a currency manipulator that meets the standard.

The Administration's focus should not be, as it states, growing gross exports. All that matters is our net exports position, which currently remains massively negative.

today is a historic day, in some sense. Five years ago today, President Bush signed the Central American Free Trade Agreement, on August 2, 2005. A month earlier--I was a Member of the House of Representatives then--the majority leader…

Each day in towns and cities across my State of Ohio, small business owners and manufacturers will walk into a bank and apply for a loan to expand their business. They have workers, they have the capacity to grow, and they have orders for…
