In Congress, I’ll work hard to encourage investment in education, particularly with respect to technology and bridging the digital divide.  (Congress Quotes) Opening up the Capitol dome and giving the public a look at the inner workings of Congress - however messy they may be - certainly won’t be pretty. But trust isn’t earned by showing off only your Sunday best. The dirty laundry has to be aired, too.  (Congress Quotes) A foundation representing firefighters who die in the line of duty is calling for Congress to strip the Centers for Disease Control of its role investigating firefighter deaths.  (Congress Quotes) It is hard sometimes to get the Congress to do what you want to do and you have to keep working at it.  (Congress Quotes) Do you remember the good ol’ days when Congress was only unsafe if you were an intern  (Congress Quotes) While Congress did not, to my knowledge, calculate aggregate dollar values for the nationwide effects of racial discrimination in 1964, in 1994 it did rely on evidence of the harms caused by domestic violence and sexual assault, citing annual costs of $3 billion in 1990 and $5 to $10 billion in 1993.  (Congress Quotes) The problem is, is that President Bush and the Republican leadership in the Congress have resisted attempts to increase dramatically our fuel economy standards over the last five years.  (Congress Quotes) I sit on the Drug Policy Subcommittee of the United States Congress.

Congress, which had adjourned for the day to go back to its districts, was blown away.  (Congress Quotes) The Populist Caucus is the only caucus in Congress devoted solely to addressing middle class economic issues. We formed the caucus because the founding members felt like there wasn’t enough focus on middle class issues in Washington, and we’re going to keep it focused on middle class issues.  (Congress Quotes) F.D.R. had an economic crisis of unprecedented proportions in 1933 when he drove 15 major bills through the Congress, and super majorities in the House and the Senate in 1935 when he won passage of Social Security.  (Congress Quotes) Instead of marginalizing women, Congress must get to work on policies that can foster job creation and fuel economic growth.  (Congress Quotes) I hope to see the bringing together of all the best educated people of the earth into a worldwide Congress of Scientists.  (Congress Quotes) During my time as a state legislator, I’ve pushed for significant investment in public school districts. In Congress, I would look forward to increasing federal public investment in education through initiatives like Race to the Top.  (Congress Quotes) During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country’s economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.  (Congress Quotes) Congress should fund research on the effects that violent video games have on young minds... We don’t benefit from ignorance. We don’t benefit from not knowing the science.  (Congress Quotes) If taxpayers want better results from Congress, they must stop paying their elected officials for failure. After all, you get what you pay for.  (Congress Quotes) Congress mandated that health care providers in emergency departments and ambulances provide emergency care to anyone in need, including the uninsured and underinsured.  (Congress Quotes) I happened to have the privilege of serving in Congress. It will be 16 years at the end of this term. And I think I made a difference here on important issues.  (Congress Quotes) Our opponent and many in Congress criticized our decision to end the Iraq war  (Congress Quotes) Congress no longer declares war or makes budgets. So that’s the end of the constitution as a working machine.  (Congress Quotes) Since coming to Congress, I have been advocating for increased resources for research in the physical sciences and for the Department of Energy Office of Science in particular.  (Congress Quotes) We forced Richard Nixon and the Congress who established, and thanks to your leadership, we supported you and we got the Environmental Protection Act and Agency.  (Congress Quotes) I have voted against only one of President Obama’s nominees: Michael Froman, a Citigroup alumnus who is currently storming the halls of Congress as U.S. Trade Representative pushing trade deals that threaten to undermine financial regulation, workers’ rights, and environmental protections.  (Congress Quotes) Plain and simple, Congress must act to meet the needs of our constituents.

My literal responsibility as director of CIA with regard to covert action was to inform the Congress - not to seek their approval, to inform.  (Congress Quotes) If the president uses executive orders to legislate new laws, that would be an example of him subverting legislative power from Congress, and might be considered a gross perversion of the Constitution.  (Congress Quotes)
