      Congratulations on your reelection. Enjoy the victory, but please remember all the hard work that is ahead for our country. As your constituent, I ask that you look beyond the ideals of the political party and remember the ideals of America when making the decisions that shape the future of our great land. Congress must set the example for our divided nation and work together to bring us prosperity once again.

  3. STATEMENT BY
    CONGRESSMAN WM. LACY CLAY (D) MISSOURI
    REGARDING JUDGE DAN GREEN’S ORDER TO RELEASE MR. GEORGE ALLEN,
    WRONGLY CONVICTED OF MURDER AND RAPE IN 1983

    ST. LOUIS, MO – The following is a first-person statement issued by Congressman Wm. Lacy Clay (D) Missouri in reaction to Judge Dan Green’s order to release Mr. George Allen, a constituent who was wrongly convicted of murder and rape in ...
    1983. Congressman Clay has been a vocal advocate for Mr. Green’s release, along with Attorney Barry Scheck and the Innocence Project.

    "A year ago, Congressman Emanuel Cleaver and I urged Missouri Attorney General Koster to review the outrageous miscarriage of justice that sentenced George Allen to 95 years for a crime that he could not have committed.

    Judge Green’s order affirms our central argument that the scientific evidence excluded Mr. Allen, and the confession was not credible because of his severely diminished mental capacity.

    My thanks go out to Attorney Barry Scheck and the staff of the Innocence Project whose hard work has corrected another grave error in our justice system.

    I urge the Circuit Attorney to allow Mr. Allen to be released without further delay so that he can be reunited with his family."

  4. U.S. Department of Labor reports that the economy added over 171,000 private sector jobs last month, and previous job creation numbers were revised upwards.

    That's good news...5.4 million new private sector jobs created over the last 32 months.

    Real progress...but we still have a lot of work to do to put America back to work.

    That starts with bipartisan, common sense action when Congress reconvenes after the election.
  5. Proud that Missouri Task Force 1 has been activated for deployment to the East Coast for Hurricane Sandy.

    The federal search and rescue team is headed to Herndon, Va., and is expected to arrive by 5 p.m. Tuesday.

    Missouri Task Force 1 was put on alert Monday morning. Earlier Monday, teams from Virginia and Maryland were activated and staged in Virginia and New Jersey. Teams from Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee also were deployed.

    Thanks to all of our emergency responders for their brave service.
  6. Tonight, my thoughts and prayers go out to my good friend Senator Claire McCaskill on the passing of her dear mother, Betty Anne.
