Jay Rockefeller

If you don't take responsibility for your future, you have no future.

It was very interesting when the President called, accurately, Russia an important regional power.

we did something called the nuclear option, which means if you can get past cloture, then all you need is 51 votes.

I am just as disappointed by Congress and our failure to create Federal standards for protecting consumer information.

I wish to speak about the Children's Health Insurance Program, or CHIP. I am joined on the floor today by my friend Senator Baucus, the Chairman of the Finance Committee, to stress the program's importance. Today CHIP provides health…

I agree with Senator Baucus. Without the funds to run this program, millions of children will lose health care coverage. Before CHIP was established in 1997, 23 percent of low-income children were uninsured. Today, according to the Urban…

today, I am introducing the Data Security and Breach Notification Act of 2014. I introduce this bill with my good friend, Senator Feinstein, Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, as well as Senators Pryor and Nelson, valued Subcommittee…

I want to know how and why data brokers are putting American consumers into categories like these.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

We have all benefited from the rapid advances in computing technology, but we also cherish our personal freedoms.

I think it is our job as a government to minimize that possibility.

I am here to say that this is a very serious situation.

I am putting these three companies on notice today that I am not satisfied with their responses.

Chairman Rockefeller queried 12 popular health and financial focused websites whose privacy policies appeared to allow for the sharing of consumer data.

I personally am revolted by that.
