Weiner said, “We will be accomplishing more to help New York City needs with this one bill than any in recent memory. These are smart investments that come at a time when New York City needs them. I am thrilled that many of the efforts I was involved with have borne fruit for the Big Apple.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1228 Rep. Weiner said, "Whenever there's an opportunity to negotiate, it is the Israelis that say,' yes' and it is the Palestinians, with the support of their neighbors, that say 'no.'" http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1225 Rep. Weiner said, “Catching the flu and suffering through fever, coughing, and a sore throat can be a miserable experience that can be easily avoided. The early Tamiflu warning means that taking a five-second flu shot, particularly for seniors and young children, will not only help prevent this suffering, but it will also help save lives.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1226 Rep. Weiner said, “Julius Genachowski is a brilliant guy and a brilliant choice. The dark and difficult period at the FCC has ended. It is a time of challenge and opportunity at the FCC and we need someone of Genachowski’s intellect and experience.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1223 Rep. Weiner said, “Losing these schools is a crisis not only for the families of students, but for students in our already overcrowded public schools as well." http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1224 Rep. Weiner wrote, “The plans are drafted. The money is waiting. Only you can cut the last piece of red tape. I encourage you to do so at once.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1227 Rep. Weiner said, "Keeping our kids safe is an on-going effort that demands greater vigilance, especially near where our children hang out. We need to do more to track offenders, to enforce existing laws and to arm parents with tools to protect their children from sex offenders." http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1222 Rep. Weiner said, “Israel deserves - and is entitled to - a right to defend itself. That is the ultimate lesson of what's going on in the Middle East today.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1220 Rep. Weiner said, "Madoff should only be in one of two places: helping investigators locate the assets of victims or in a cold, dank jail cell.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1221 New York Times: City Trades Its Yankee Stadium Suite for Cash http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1219 Rep. Weiner released the following statement: “It is wrong for city officials to reserve luxury boxes for themselves when most New Yorkers are struggling to afford a seat in the bleachers. Finally, the city was embarrassed enough that they did the right thing. City officials should purchase tickets to the game just like every other New Yorker.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1218 Rep. Weiner said, “I believe New York City’s middle class deserve lower taxes. President Elect Obama’s plan does exactly that – delivering relief to millions of hardworking New Yorkers in these challenging times. This plan is good for the country, it’s good for the economy, and it’s good for middle class families in New York City.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1217 Rep. Weiner said, "It’s time to use common sense – revoke bail for Madoff." http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1216 Rep. Weiner said, "Israel has a right to defend itself. No nation can be expected to abide a barrage of rockets falling on its citizens. In recent days Hamas had used Gaza as a staging ground for an air attack on its neighbor. It had to stop. Israel's actions today were justified." http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1215 New York Daily News: Governor Paterson makes first trip to Iraq to spread holiday cheer http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1213 Rep. Weiner said, "Bernard Madoff should not be free on bail. If there was ever an example of someone who was a flight risk, someone who might have $20 million in a shoe box under his bed, that's Bernard Madoff. He has lived the last ten years of his life in a scheme of deception, and should not be trusted – even with all of the ankle bracelets in the world – outside of a jail cell." http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1214 Rep. Weiner said, "Bernard Madoff should not be trusted to be outside of a prison cell." http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1212 Rep. Weiner said, “This is great news for our parks, our nation, and for the Statue of Liberty. Finally, we have a Secretary who understands that the only obstacle to opening the crown is a lack of courage and imagination. Today we are a step closer to providing safe access to the heights of Lady Liberty.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1211
