Insurance companies and trying to figure out how we are going to make ends meet with Health Insurance going up 100 , because of obama care, this deal does nothing for them. And to all of the seniors, to all of the people with disabilities who are right now getting in the mail notifications that they are losing their Health Insurance because of obama care, this deal does nothing for them. Mr. President , this fight was always about the American People who are hurting because of obama are. And unfortunately today, the United States senate is saying, you dont have a voice in washington. This is a terrible deal. And i urge my colleagues to oppose it. Now, none of us should be surprised that when the senate votes, this deal is going to pass and pass by a big argin. None of us should be surprised, but mr. President , the outcome could have been different. I would ask you, mr. President , to imagine a different world. We saw in the last two months millions of americans rise up, sign a nationa
Is paying the young men not to work swems paying for other things other than lifting oil. Thanks. Rank, you really have been a trail blazer for over ten years now and in the beginning i know it was very hard and lonely out there among conservatives calling for the importance of reducing oil status as a strategy commodity, why . Well apart from the fact yall told me that was an important thing to do, it kind of dawned mejia that it was an important thing to do.

He made clear, however, that he wasnt focused on the d. C. Memorial but his goal was a world war i memorial here. While i very much believe in commemorating all world war i veterans, i had to oppose altering the integrity of the d. C. Memorial. The d. C. Memorial was built with the blood and treasure of d. C. Residents only, including funds from schoolchildren. More than 26,000 d. C. Residents who served in world war i, the 491 who died, more than the number from three states, have their names enfwraved on the memorial. Our memorial is deeply symbolic of historic and continuing concerns of this of district veterans, particularly our veterans who continue to serve without equal congressional representation, equail equal rights as citizens and equal local government control. In the spirit of Cooperation Among members, members of both party the housepassed version of h. R. 6364 would have protected the d. C. War memorial and h.

President , to the millions of americans who rose up in the last couple of months, i want to give a word of encouragement, a word of encouragement about the path forward. A couple of months ago, the washington establishment scoffed at the notion that the American People might rise up. That was viewed as silly, parochial, couldnt happen. A couple of months ago, the washington establishment scoffed at the notion that the house of representatives would stand strong saying, we should fund every bit of the federal government but we shouldnt fund obamacare. Yet, mr. President , what we have seen in the last two months has been extraordinary. Millions of americans speaking out in overwhelming numbers saying, obamacare isnt working. Mr. President , the unions are jumping ship. Senatetic members of the and house went to the president a
