Been passed a decision on housepast legislation. You phillips i am joining from minnesota, where i have spent the past month visiting with members of my community about what they want fixed in washington. I ran for congress because i was tired of the erosion of political discourse around the country and a government that places special interest before our common interest. Whether it is protecting the community from Climate Change or protecting love lines from gun violence, special interest seem to get in the way of sensible action. Is what i have heard in minnesota is any indication, most americans feel the same way. We believe Campaign Contributions should not be the ticket to representation, not in a democracy that works for everyone.

National solution. Second, tens of thousands of responders and survivors are sick because the federal government in its rush to get wall street reopened ignored the evidence and the Expert Opinions of scientists. The then head of the Environmental Protection agency repeatedly assured us the air around the World Trade Center was safe to breathe. And we knew it wasnt. But the federal government kept insisting it was. And compounding the federal governments culpability was its failure to conduct a comprehensive cleanup of the environmental disaster created when the World Trade Center towers collapsed. For example, the e. P. A. Administrator told the public that asbestos could be cleaned from apartments with a damp cloth and wet mop. Based on these false assurances, students were sent back to schools that had been contaminated with the toxic dust cloud without ventilation systems being cleaned first. People kept working to clear the pile for months with no protective equipment. Quite simpl
