Let's go Notre Dame! Before tonight's game, Pete pauses to remember the words of Knute Rockne: "build up your weaknesses until they become your strong points."

"I am appalled and angry that Congress could not make discrete decisions to bring our fiscal house in order."- Northwest Indiana's thoughts and prayers are with the Hammond police officer shot during a robbery last week and his family. We wish him a speedy recovery.
- Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Congressman Visclosky's office!
- "Speaker Boehner's 'Plan B' is wrong for Northwest Indiana families. Far from being a comprehensive, balanced approach to averting the 'fiscal cliff,' the 'plan' maintains generous tax cuts for the wealthy while forcing middle-class families to pay more. The American people want us to create jobs, fix our economy, and develop long-term fiscal solutions, not waste time on fiscal gimmicks."
- Pete is hosting 21 Town Forums in January, but if you can't make it, you can still ask him a question! You may call, write, or visit one of his offices or ask him a question for Town Forums by clicking the link below.

- Creating jobs and keeping our troops safe on the battlefield are among Pete's top priorities. That's why he called on Secretary Panetta to remember American steelworkers and steel producers as the Navy develops its shipbuilding plans for the future.
- Pleased to announce that Pete's interview with Chris Mahlmann on cooperation and online communication has been selected as one of the Top 10 Videos of 2012 on PortageLife.com! Pete is always humbled and honored to interview with Chris and his colleagues, who work tirelessly to share good news throughout Northwest Indiana.
- "Through its efforts to create jobs and grow our economy, Whiting is one example of 'what's right with the region.' I am proud to partner with all of the local leaders who are working to create jobs and move Northwest Indiana forward by investing in our communities."
- "The innovators today will be the job creators tomorrow."
Congratulations to Purdue University Calumet on the Energy Center and Water Institute, which will help to create jobs and jumpstart economic growth in Northwest Indiana. - ArcelorMittal's $63 million new facility at Indiana Harbor will improve energy efficiency and cut costs while creating and protecting good-paying jobs for middle-class Northwest Indiana families. The project is a prime example of what the public and private sector can accomplish when all of us work together.
- Shocked and horrified by the senseless, tragic shootings in Connecticut. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, the faculty and staff of Sandy Hook Elementary School, and all those affected by this tragedy.
- "I want to hear from my constituents on the issues that matter most to them."
