What would happen to your business in the United States if you no longer appeared near the top of Google's search results?

One more round of 3 minutes.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

But to be listed first is an advantage, isn't it?

A company that dominates a marketplace at least has the responsibility to provide fair access.

Should we be troubled by any one company, however well-intended like yours, having huge, huge influence over news and information citizens find on the internet?

Under common antitrust standards, this kind of a market share is considered to constitute monopoly power.

Shouldn't we be guided by the words of a great president, Ronald Reagan, who said, 'Trust yes, but verify'?

Rising health care costs are hurting America's global competitiveness and are a drag on family wages.

Left unchecked, these costs threaten our country, our economy, and every American family.

We should look, I believe, to emulate those examples.

By negotiating prices, Senior Care in Wisconsin did save my constituents $80 million in 2010.

We need to do more, and we need to look at every option as we seek to provide quality care for all Americans at a cost that we can afford.

I rise today with Senator Manchin to introduce the Silver Alert Act of 2011. This legislation increases the chances of quickly locating missing senior citizens by establishing a national communications network to help regional and local…

As you know, I have introduced legislation to increase penalties for economic espionage, and we have been working with your office on it.
