First I want to say thank you to Curt Blair, I know you were the driving force behind this and I want to say thank you. It means so much to see everyone here, because this race is about everyone in this room, everyone across the 2nd congressional district, which happens to be, in case you did not know, the largest district in Florida. Since I have gotten into this race, I have put over 31,000 miles on my car, and I’m sure there’s going to be tens of thousands […]

Thank you very much, Dean Riordan. The whole University of Denver community that is such a partner in everything we try and do in the Metro Denver area, and truly in the whole region of the Rocky Mountains.

Housing and the Mortgage Crisis - Aug. 7, 2007
August 7, 2007
Thank you so much, Christie. And it's not easy to come here and do this, for her and for her family. I am just very grateful that she would share her story. Of course, it's an abbreviated version of her story. Her husband's job was outsourced. He actually trained his replacement. That's when they ran into all the problems that they faced with trying to pay the mortgage payments that kept going up. And I don't know whether there is anybody in this audience or anyone who, through the media, […]

The War in Iraq - Feb. 7, 2007
February 7, 2007
Mr. President, we are all well aware in this chamber that our country finds itself in a deepening crisis in Iraq, and we find ourselves at a moment of decision in the United States Senate. Nearly four years ago, our President rushed us into war in Iraq, a war now longer than American involvement in World War II, which next month will actually exceed the length of our own Civil War. For four years, members on both sides of the aisle have watched with shock and dismay as our President […]
