House Democrats are holding another hearing today on sensible ways to keep powerful guns away from dangerous people. As that happens, I want to share the results of last week's survey on President Obama's plan to reduce gun violence. Thank you to everyone who participated, I truly value your input.

- House Democrats held a hearing today to discuss options to keep our constituents, our families, and our children free from the threat of gun violence in their homes, schools, and neighborhoods.
I'm interested in your opinion too. Take my survey on preventing gun violence here: http://1.usa.gov/Vm54wz Rep. George Miller shared a link.
Today, the President put forth a comprehensive plan to reduce gun violence in the United States and in our schools. I support his efforts, and think Congress should move quickly to pass it.
But what do you think? I’d like to know. Take my survey here: http://1.usa.gov/Vm54wzRep. George Miller shared a link.
The Daily Show may be funny, but this is no laughing matter—no bank should be “too big to jail.” Read my letter to the Justice Department at http://1.usa.gov/V6aajg. What do you think?Rep. George Miller shared a link.
It's been a week since the 113th Congress was sworn in and House Democrats are working to lay the foundation for meaningful action to reduce gun violence in America.

Whew - glad to see AIG shamed into dropping consideration of their frivolous lawsuit against the US Government. They should focus on rebuilding trust with American taxpayers instead.

VIDEO: First day of congress and I'm pushing for every state to have early voting and ensure no one has to wait in line more than one hour to vote. The GOP voted it down but I plan to keep fighting to protect and defend the right of all Americans to vote. Watch and SHARE if you agree.

I voted for the bi-partisan compromise fiscal cliff agreement to prevent a tax hike on the middle class, to increase tax rates on the wealthiest, and to continue unemployment insurance, tax credits for low-income families and small businesses, and investments in renewable energy. Not a perfect deal, clearly, but a solid agreement that paves the way for important, although, difficult decisions in the next few months ahead.
