It is about our personal responsibility to strengthen our community. This is about making us strong enough and leaving a legacy.
At a time when U.S. jobs are heading overseas at a record pace, and amidst increased sanctions on our manufacturers and producers from other countries, it's imperative that we do all we can to provide our businesses a climate to operate successfully.
This crisis has shown just how important this safety net is to our nation,
If we are to give working mothers, fathers and their children an opportunity to live the American dream we must invest in their future.
We go to foreign countries and say, 'Our farmers will do what is right,' but turn deaf and dumb when those countries do not play by the same rules.
Voters must have faith in the electoral process for our democracy to succeed.
In rural areas of America, there is a growing increase in poverty, homelessness and hunger. You cannot separate these factors from domestic violence ?- a mother with three kids and no financial security is going to stiffen her lip and take the abuse, because not only does she have nowhere else to go, she has three children depending on her for survival.

"America's Cold War veterans deserve every honor we can bestow upon them for their hard work and dedication to keeping our nation safe,". "The Cold War Service Medal would allow military service members, veterans, and their families to receive the recognition and honor they rightfully deserve. I will continue to work with my colleagues to ensure our veterans receive the support and care they and their families need. It's the least we can do as a grateful nation."
Stopping crime before it occurs is the most effective crime fighting tool of all.
Unless we make education a priority, an entire generation of Americans could miss out on the American dream.
