Weiner said, “There is no greater birthday present for America than to reopen Lady Liberty from her toes to her crown." http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1301 Rep. Weiner said, "Reopening the crown of Lady Liberty on the 4th of July will restore a quintessential New York and American experience and is a momentous event which embodies America’s renewed commitment to diplomacy with the world." http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1299 http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1298 Rep. Weiner said, “It’s bad enough to suffer through the symptoms of this virus. But punishing those who follow the rules and choose not to travel adds insult to injury. Waiving these fees is a simple solution and will go a long way towards easing the burden of passengers who do the right thing.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1297 Rep. Weiner said, "I urge President Obama to seize this opportunity to make a historic selection by nominating a Hispanic to the nation’s highest court." http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1295 “Rep. Foxx dishonors the memory of a young man whose life was brutally cut short by hatred. This is the kind of ignorance that drove Sen. Arlen Specter away from the Republican party. The passage of the hate crimes bill demonstrates the need to move forward, not backwards, toward greater unity and progress.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1296 Rep. Weiner said, “Retailers promise big savings – but they’re doling out big bills on customers. When it comes to store credit cards, shoppers should leave home without them. But now, if they use them, shoppers will know exactly what they’re getting into.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1294 Rep. Weiner said, "Today I join Israel and members of the Jewish community in Queens and Brooklyn in celebrating this anniversary." http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1292 Rep. Weiner said, “This smart, energy efficient investment will improve the quality of life for Brooklyn residents. I am thrilled that many of the efforts I was involved with have borne fruit for Brooklynites.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1293 Rep. Weiner said, “With Americans struggling with the high cost and the lack of access to affordable health care, Governor Sebelius is a great choice. She understands first-hand the health care burden localities are carrying and its drain on families. As the leader in our push to expand quality, affordable care to all Americans, Gov. Sebelius will bring a focus and leadership exactly when our nation, our economy, and our citizens desperately need it." http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1291 "It is a debacle all around – whether it be the Department of Defense thinking it is a good idea to buzz ground zero with fighter planes or the Federal Aviation Administration ordering it be kept quiet or New York City officials keeping us all in the dark. It was simply a bone headed thing to do. And all this for a photo op?" http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1290 Rep. Weiner released a letter to Representative Frank Pallone, Jr, Chairman of the Health Subcommittee, urging immediate hearings to examine the success of the steps that the federal government has taken and all future precautionary measures that should be taken. The hearings have now been set for Thursday, April 30. http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1289 Rep. Weiner said, “For 45 years, generations of families have flocked to Silver Gull to enjoy the beach, swim in the pools, and take part in community events. Preserving this jewel in the middle of our urban jungle will help the local economy thrive and is a major win for everyone.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1288 Rep. Weiner says, “Our safety challenges can't take a backseat to our economic ones. More cops mean less violent crimes and greater vigilance against terrorism – and now the feds will help pay for them.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1287 Rep. Weiner said, “These marshlands are the very foundation of this ecosystem. They are havens for insects, attract clams and support fish and birds. For years, concerned residents and environmentalists have warned us that they are disappearing. We can say now that the marshlands are coming back.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1286 Rep. Weiner said, “If New York City is going to continue as the middle class capital of the world, then middle class families must have affordable places to live. It’s time for the federal government to get back in the business of creating affordable housing.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1283 Rep. Weiner said, "The easy solution is to move the games and honor the holy days. There's no reason why the largest Jewish community in the country should be punished because of a scheduling snafu." http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1285 http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1282 Rep. Weiner said, “Queens shoppers are being nickel-and-dimed at the expense of small businesses. We want to help local neighborhood stores, not drive shoppers away.” http://www.house.gov/weiner/news_display.aspx?id=1281 Rep. Weiner said, “A college education should create opportunity for the middle class, not debt and bad credit. The federal government has a responsibility to help students help themselves by making a college education more affordable.”
