» " class="documentLink">Leader Hoyer Discussing TARP on House Floor, January 22, 2009
We are the ones who also, notwithstanding the failure of the bush administration to request it, put yesterday in a bipartisan vote additional constraints for accountability and transparency and for focusing on those folks who are at risk of losing their homes. The gentlelady, I know, did not vote for that either.

» Gaza Strip Conflict Resolution on House Floor, January 09, 2009
The way to solve this problem is through reason and appeal to moral situation in the world community. How tragic it is that the Palestinian children and the Israeli children and their families, men, women, older people on both sides have been subjected to the terror sold by Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations. [TRANSCRIPT]
» Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act Discussed on the House Floor, January 09, 2009
