Zitat des Tages von Ted Deutch:
It is well past time for President Abbas to stand up and condemn all acts of violence, rather than encouraging violence by glorifying terrorists and teaching children to view Israelis as animals.
I came here with a lot of things that I would like to get done for my community and my constituents. Shooting hoops at the White House was not at the top of the list but would certainly be a thrill.
Many of my constituents are in their 80s, 90s, even 100, and our focus is ensuring that their needs can be provided for.
My connections to Broward are long, and they are deep, and I'm proud of them.
Standing up to Ahmadinejad is not a partisan issue and should never be one.
I became a co-chair of the Congressional Study Group from Germany several years ago with the expressed purpose of helping increase aid to Holocaust survivors.
Working across the aisle, I helped pass laws exposing business dealings in Iran, cracking down on Iranian human rights abusers, and applying crippling sanctions to Iran's oil and gas industries.
I was elected on April 13 and sworn in two days later, so I had no orientation. I had to figure things out as I went along.
People want the United States Congress focused on creating jobs in this country.
We need to move past blame and make sure we are delivering care to our veterans.
I wasn't a vegan when I came to Congress. It was a decision I made soon after I got here, and it's had such a positive impact on my life that I decided to try to help others as well.
We must not allow the Iranian regime to use the nation's vast energy resource as a financial pipeline for its nuclear ambitions.
From the preemptive strike that destroyed Egypt's air force during the Six-Day War, to the daring raid on Entebbe, to using all available means to slow the Iranian nuclear program, Israelis have combined strength with ingenuity to keep the country's enemies at bay.
This OCCUPIED amendment, this constitutional amendment, would overturn Citizens United. It would make clear that corporations aren't people, that they - the framers of the Constitution never intended to give constitutional rights to corporations, the ones that we enjoy and cherish.
This is not a political issue. I know Florida's leadership has talked about a real commitment to helping our veterans. Now it's time for them to show it.
If we are going to use places of worship as polling places, we should not discriminate.
Social Security is fundamentally strong.
No one disputes Iran's destabilizing influence in the Middle East or role in killing Americans.
We need to recognize the opportunity that green jobs present to Florida and to the economy.
We know that for children, hunger is especially devastating.
It is no surprise that companies do not often respond to moral pressure alone. We need to hit them hard in their pocketbook and on their balance sheet. We need to show them that their stock prices will be affected if their actions encourage Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions.
In order to survive in a dangerous neighborhood, Israel has always needed to be more than tough. The country has always needed to be smart.
There's no question that looking down to search the Web, send a text message, or log onto Facebook puts you in danger and puts people around you on the road in danger.
My passion for strengthening the community and making peoples' lives better is stronger now than when I first got into politics.
For those whose lives have been turned upside down by Chinese drywall, we're trying to give them a chance to seek justice.
I believe we're stronger when we speak loudly and unapologetically for human rights; when we stand with our allies against common threats like terrorism, radicalization, and poverty; and when we unite to prevent the world's most dangerous regimes from acquiring the world's deadliest weapons.
There's been an unfortunate history of efforts to make sure Florida's votes don't count. Given that history, it's clear why people here would be especially concerned about efforts undertaken by Super PACs and the corporations that fund them to dictate the outcome of elections.
Ultimately, the goal of sanctions is to ratchet up the economic pressure on the Iranians to such a level that the regime determines it is simply too great to bear, and they are forced to weigh the decision to carry on their nuclear development and their illicit quest for nuclear weapons against the ever-growing pressure from their own people.
We count on the FEC to be the public's watchdog.
This isn't about grabbing people's guns; this isn't about changing the Second Amendment. This simply says that someone who is on the terrorist watch list - a dangerous terrorist - should not be able to purchase a gun.
We ought to be able to forgo the constant need to raise money and just focus on working together to solve the problems this country faces.
Social media companies must work closely with the U.S. government to ensure their platforms are not being used by terrorist organizations to do harm to our country.
Kids from financially distressed households are twice as likely to have to repeat a grade and more than two-and-a-half more times to struggle with poor health later in life.
I would be concerned if any speech to Congress related any information that's new to the president of the United States.
It was sanctions that drove Iran to the negotiating table in the first place.
I am proud to have played a small part in ensuring that no veteran's heroic service will be cast aside due to prejudice.
