Let me be clear — the Congress will be writing the next farm bill in 2007 and I am deeply concerned the (Bush) administration is using the current negotiations to reshape farm policy without the...

The fact that Congress has chosen not to do something about this is a national scandal that has cost lives,

I think it is important for someone like me to not run away from who I am but embrace it. LGBT people across the country need to know they have a friend in Congress.

Congress may carry on the most wicked and pernicious of schemes under the dark veil of secrecy. The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers...

We would give anything to see Annette alive again. They say there’s a silver lining to everything, and from this horrible event, I would like to see Congress get involved to make the cruise industry...
