hardworking, patriotic, modest and generous to those in need. everyone knows the story of indianapolis police officer perry rand. courageous police officer who squared his shoulders in the face of deadly force to protect our capital city and he paid with his life. what you may not know is the story of two little heroes, that followed after that story. jason and ben trocksle. ages 8 and 5 respectively. they are the sons of officer rand's partner and they were inspired in the midst of that tragedy to raise money to outfit the indianapolis police department with better body armor. and those two little boys 8 and 5 years old, have now raised more than $20,000 to make our police safer. would you join me in thanking lynn and our two young heroes who showed the courage and kindness that makes indiana great. >> that's enthusiasm. nowhere is the character of our people more evident than those who serve in uniform. the evil that came to the streets of paris last week may seem far removed, but the brutal murder of our own peter cassic a courageous young ma

see something of ourselves in the striving young student, and agree that no one benefits when a hardworking mom is snatched from her child, and that it's possible to shape a law that upholds our tradition as a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants. i've talked to democrats and republicans about that. that is something we can share. we may go at it in campaign season, but surely we can agree that the right to vote is sacred, that it's being denied to too many; and that, on this 50th anniversary of the great march from selma to montgomery and the passage of the voting rights act, we can come together, democrats and republicans, to make voting easier for every single american. we may have different takes on the events of ferguson and new york. but surely we can understand a father who fears his son can't walk home without being harassed. surely we can understand the wife who won't rest until the police officer she married walks through the front door at the end of his shift. surely we can agree it's a good thing that for the first time in 40 years, the crime rate and the incarceration rate

we'll also keep fighting to repeal and replace a health care law that's hurt so many hardworking families. we'll work to correct executive over-reach. we'll propose ideas that aim to cut wasteful spending and balance the budget with meaningful reforms, not higher taxes like the president has proposed. we'll advance solutions to prevent the kind of cyberattacks we've seen recently. we'll work to confront iran's nuclear ambitions. and we'll defend life, because protecting our most vulnerable is an important measure of any society. congress is back to work on your behalf, ready to make washington focus on your concerns again. we know america faces big challenges, but history has shown there's nothing our nation and our people can't accomplish. just look at my parents and grandparents. they had very little to call their own except the sweat on their brow and the dirt on their hands. but they worked, they sacrificed, and they dreamed big dreams for their children and grandchildren. and because they did, an ordinary iowan like me has had some truly extraordinary opportunities because they showe

helping hardworking families make ends meet.ing them the tools they need for good-paying jobs in this new economy. maintaining the conditions for growth and competitiveness. this is where america needs to go. i believe its where the american people want to go. it will make our economy stronger a year from now fifteen years from now, and deep into the century ahead. of course, if theres one thing this new century has taught us, its that we cannot separate our work here at home from challenges beyond our shores. my first duty as commander-in-chief is to defend the united states of america. in doing so, the question is not whether america leads in the world, but how. when we make rash decisions reacting to the headlines instead of using our heads; when the first response to a challenge is to send in our military, then we risk getting drawn into unnecessary conflicts, and neglect the broader strategy we need for a safer more prosperous world. that's what our enemies want us to do. i believe in a smarter kind of american leadership.

with hardworking families struggling abandoning his proposal is not enough. first, the president should put his full weight behind our plan to expand and strengthen 529 accounts. we can remove 0 common paperwork problems and use the money to pay for computers and make it easier for families to send their kids to the college of their choice. because we should be rewarding people who work hard and play by the rules, not punishing them. secondly, the president should reconsider his threats to veto our common sense jobs bill. when he voted to stop the keystone pipeline, which would have led to 42,000 jobs and we think bureaucrats should have to regulate with more transparancy and less cost. that's just common sense. expanding opportunity protecting middle class savings, molding government accountable, these are your priorities which means therp republicans' priorities. when we saw this week, when the people speak out, government has to listen. now we need president obama to keep listening. it's the best thing he can do for our families and our future. thank you f

an agenda that gives hardworking taxpayers greater security and independence. an agenda that will put our government on a better and better and more responsible fiscal footing. that's what i'm here to talk about today. as the chairman of the finance committee, i want to do all i can to put our country on a better path and to ensure that all americans have an opportunity to prosper. to get there, i've put together what really is a very ambitious agenda for our committee. and i would like to lay out some of that for you here today. i'm fully aware that for some people, particularly the cynics among us, the word ambitious is just another synonym for unrealistic. to them ki only offer my commitment to work tirelessly and e lenlessly to make every part of this agenda a reality. this isn't the first time i've chaired a committee. and while there are surely some unique challenges to every committee, those who know me can attest that i can work to get things down. to see what i intend to do, let's talk specifics about what the senate finance committee will be tackleing

not enough good jobs for hardworking americans. and so now the president has in spite of this, said i'm not going to sign that legislation once it reaches my desk. before the senate has even acted on it. just breathtaking. is that the president -- within the president's authority under the constitution? yes, it is. the president can either sign legislation or he can veto legislation. the constitution gives him that authority. but i think the president ought to have to explain to the american people his reasons for saying he won't sign this legislation. again, the same project that his own state department said would create 42,000 jobs. again, at a time when the percentage of people in the workforce is at a 40-year low and while unemployment is coming down unfortunately, a lot of it has to do with the fact that people are not looking for work and have dropped out of the workforce. they've given up. hopefully in spite of the federal government, the economy seems to be strong enough to be growing finally but we need to continue to hav

a museum is not a place that normally these hardworking people would go.but because we have a... we go very presently to their schools and everything, and we gave bilingual fliers to come for free to el museo, one girl was touring her father. so you see the pride first of the girl explaining to her father, this man that perhaps that was a first experience going through the threshold of a museum. a bit intimidating and everything, but the bond that was happening there was amazing. so we're really working for making those young children, those new latinos, new americans, that are the future of this country are proud of their heritage, that they now also are ambassadors toward the parents. completely different than what happened. my parents dragged me to museums, and i hated it, you know? i don't know how things changed eventually. >> hinojosa: your parents dragged you to museums and you hated it? >> i didn't like it. i didn't like it. i didn't like it. it wasn't until i started going on my own... >> hinojosa: okay, so that means lesson for everybody-- it's o

because it is not fair to hardworking taxpayers and to future generations to be saddled with this debt. do you know, right now $56,600 is each individual's share of the debt. i have a nephew who just recently turned 1 year old. he has $56,600 worth of debt. is that fair? no indeed, it is not. it is important that we begin to cut that one penny out of every dollar in discretionary spending to get our fiscal house in order. i urge consideration of h.r. 39 and yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlelady from north carolina seek recognition? without objection, the gentlelady is recognized for one minute. >> thank you madam speaker. i come to the floor to pay tribute to the memory of shonda, a native north carolinian admired daughter, sister and friend, who departed this life suddenly on december 12, 2014 in cumberland county, where she lived and worked as a teacher. she was an outstanding educator for more than 0 years. ms. adams: well -- 20 years. ms. adams: well respected, a leader in her church and community and someone wh

senior citizens, hardworking montanans. what this means for montana, first of all, it's 100,000 barrels a day of montana and north dakota oil that enters that pipeline in a small town called baker, montana. it's not just about canadian oil coming to the u.s. it's about north dakota and montana oil. second, as i was traveling one day to a rural co-op in glasgow, montana, there in my pickup, i show up in my jeans and my jacket, they told me that the keystone pipeline's approved electric rates for their co-op payers -- folk who is don't have a lot of money, thousands of montana families in eastern part of our state -- their rates will remain flat for the next ten years because of the keystone pipeline? why is that? because they will supply electricity to the pump stations in the pipeline. accused on pipeline is -- is the keystone pipeline not approved the electric rates for those hardworking montana families will go up 40% in the next ten years. it's $80 million a year in tax revenues for the state of montana and for these rur

achieving important reforms like these would represent a win for hardworking families. it would deliver the kind of commonsense progress americans deserve. so we welcome the president tonight. we look to his address with interest. and if the president is ready to play offense we urge him to join the new congress and play offense on behalf of the american people. mr. durbin: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from illinois. mr. durbin: mr. president tonight president obama will deliver his state of the union address around -- and outline his plan to make life better for middle-class families. i've heard from both sides democrats and republicans the lament that even though many hardworking families are doing their best and businesses are more profitable because their workers are more productive, a lot of families don't see it in their paychecks. they struggle from paycheck to paycheck to pay for the basics in life. and so we have to ask ourselves what will we do about this. will we do anything? i worry that the comments just made by the majority leader sugg

joni ernst understands the concerns of hardworking families in a way much of washington hasn't. that's why the people of her state sent her here, to fight for them. she'll explain the commitment of this new congress to work for policies aimed at the good jobs and better wages that americans deserve. tonight is a big moment for the president and for our country. the tone he strikes and the issues he highlights will tell us a lot about what to expect in his presidency's final act. there's a lot riding on it, and we'll be listening closely. one option is the path he's been on for so many years. i sincerely hope he makes a different choice. the american people just spoke in clear terms about this direction. they called for a new one. we should work together to make washington focus on their concerns. working with the new congress for positive change, that's the second option for president obama. it's the one struggling families and serious policy-makers urge him to choose. the new congress has already started to take up smart bipartisan ideas focused on jobs and reform. but when we'

i'm in favor of enough dispensaries in our diverse hardworking family oriented neighborhood yet many neighbors in san francisco somehow have none. i would ask you to look at this. if you look at our map where other mcd's. i would be a shamed to say that this is where san francisco has chosen to put medical marijuana dispensaries. i'm here to ask you no -- not to approve this. >> public speaker: hello commissioners, thank you for hearing us, my name is tom murphy. a family native for 44 years. i'm with the council and current member of the neighborhoods association. as you heard tonight t community at large is against this and supervisor avalos says that 95 percent are against this. we do not have huge monies for lawyers, campaign donors and organizers and who knows what else is being spent on this project. we know what we are talking about here. we have a high percentage of kids and families in this area. it does not happen in other districts like the marina and knob hill. 95 percent are against this. please do something. enough is enough. >> public speaker: hello, my name is ron. sp

like millions of hardworking americans, rebekah isn't asking for a handout, but she is asking that we look for more ways to help families get ahead. in fact, at every moment of economic change throughout our history, this country has taken bold action to adapt to new circumstances, and to make sure everyone gets a fair shot. we set up worker protections, social security, medicare, and medicaid to protect ourselves from the harshest adversity. we gave our citizens schools and colleges, infrastructure and the internet- tools they needed to go as far as their efforts and dreams will take them. that's what middle-class economics is- the idea that this country does best when everyone gets their fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules. ( applause ) we don't just want everyone to share in america's success- we want everyone to contribute to our success. ( applause ) so what does middle-class economics require in our time? first, middle-class economics means helping working families feel more secure in a world of constant change. that means helpi

it strikes over 11 million people every year -- young, old, wealthy, hardworking, and its victims have thing in common. >> i would never have thought in a million years it would have happened to me, ever. >> announcer: none of them thought it would happen to them. >> i know it happens to a lot of people, but i was so careful. >> announcer: credit-card companies don't do enough to protect you from identity theft. protect yourself with the most comprehensive identity theft protection available -- the protection only lifelock offers. >> you know, if you're like me you want to protect the things that are so important to you -- your money, your credit, your good name. that's why i'm a member of lifelock. >> announcer: right now, your personal information is out there, and thieves can take it in an instant. when you swipe a credit card shop online, fill up at a gas station, visit your doctor, and if you use a smartphone, your chances of becoming a victim are even greater. lifelock's highly trained and dedicated member-services team are at work 24 hours a day 365 days a year, helping to stop

americans, hardworking taxpayers, consumers, small businesses across this country a break. it happened because we're producing more energy in this country and we're working with our closest friend and ally in the world canada, to produce more energy. on a daily basis we consume about 18 million barrels of oil a day or oil equivalents. oil and oil equivalents and produce about 11 million of those barrels here domestically. and we're up to about 3 million. of the 7 million we import, about 3 million comes from canada. we're down to importing about 4 million barrels a day from other sources. if we stay on this track build the necessary energy infrastructure like the keystone x.l. pipeline, and we continue to build good business climate and get our companies to invest, to create jobs and produce more energy, we can get to a point where we truly have north american security meaning we produce more energy here and at home with canada than we consume. then we're in the driver's seat. not opec. then america is in the driver's seat. if we block projects like we're debating right now

on the backs of other hardworking americans through a reduction in hours and wages. that's essentially what the affordable care act has done and that's why last congress we introduced the save american workers act. it's why it passed out of the house with bipartisan support. 18 democrats supporting last congress. and why we're reintroducing it this congress. currently, the definition of full-time unemployment as everyone here knows, under obamacare is 30 hours. yet, the average workweek in this country is 34.4 hours. so by moving the threshold back up to 40 hours restoring the 40-hour workweek, we remove this perverse incentive to reduce hours and wages when they're most needed by our hourly workers. now, people are experiencing cuts that can least afford it. we're talking about cafeteria workers around the country. we're talking about substitute teachers at our public school corporations. we're talking about employees at our youngest firms that are still fledgling and trying to stay alive. according to the hoover institution, 2.6 million workers who make less than $

don't you think it is about time people do stand up and say, listen, we don't want to send our hardworking, hard-earned dollars to d.c. to be abused and tossed around and not accounted for. >> you're exactly right kimberly. they don't want to send it to federal agencies that listen in on your phone calls snoop on your mail, an irs that is going to exact political retribution on conservative groups. than they turn around, the end of the day, they don't want to pay the military, just bureaucrats more. people are tired of it. government is overtaxed and people are overtaxed. government is overspent. we do have not a revenue problem. you know we brought in the most money ever, the most money ever, in 2014. $3 trillion in revenue. and what does this president does not understand is that you have to make certain you're lowering all of the rates getting more people into the process, paying taxes so you increase those revenues, and he still doesn't understand the best economic stimulus is a job. and that is what people want the focus to be. >> yeah well unfortunately he has a completely different

devoted family man, hardworking cop, a proud new husband. he just married his wife a few months before he was killed. his widow trembled with tears throughout the ceremony and she thanked her family of blue for attending today's service. >> he was always there when anyone needed something. when wenjian wasn't working, wenjian cared a lot for the chinese community. he always wanted to do his best to help and support. the very community that he was part of he was loved by his friends, colleagues and our extended family that is here today. >> i think her words touched so many people today. sarah joins me now. you were there, sarah. what did his family have to say? i know other family members spoke as well. >> reporter: yes, poppy. i was there and it was incredibly powerful to hear from them, but also very insightful for those of us who didn't know officer liu personally, we got to learn a lit thetle bit about who he was. for example, we learned he loved to fish. we learned he he was very generous with the chin niece community here in new york c

she knows that the middle class is looking for washington to function again and that hardworking americans who want d.c. to focus on their needs instead of the demands of powerful special interests. that's just what they told us in november when they sent this new republican congress here on their behalf. now i was hoping for something similar from president obama not identical, of course. we don't agree on all the issues; that's clear enough. but there are enough areas of common ground where we should be able to work together. it would have been most constructive if he put the focus of his address on those areas of potential agreement. the moment of high purpose called for the leader of the free world to show america what could be accomplished through constructive bipartisan engagement. the state of the union can be about more than veto threats or strident partnership. this kind of partisanship is what we've become accustomed to from the president. now we know the president may not be wild about the people's choice of a congress, but he owes it to the american people to find a serious way

we need to make that easier and lift the burden on those hardworking taxpayers. we also can't underestimate the great impact energy plays in america's foreign policy decisions. we are in many ways dependent on oil from the middle eastern states that do not share our democratic values. the predicament is not -- excuse me. the predicament has not certainly placed america in a position of strength. america has more energy potential than any other nation. it's time that we start realizing its full potential. now, what the amendment does, it's fairly straightforward. it instructs the secretary of interior to finalize a five-year offshore oil and gas leasing program for 2017 and 2022. that includes annual lease sales in both the mid-atlantic outer continental shelf and the south atlantic outer continental shelf region. it grants the states in both of these regions a 37.5% share of all revenues collected from the outer continental shelf leading activities. each state in the region gets a minimum of 10% share of that allocation. it directs 12.5% of the revenues collected

madam speaker, as if these hardworking taxpayers, these hardworking people are sitting at a toll booth -- >> if the gentleman will yield? mr. schock: yes, sir, i will. how much time is remaining? mr. carter: how much time is remaining? the chair: seconds. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from california seek recognion ms. lofen: to claim the time in opposition. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. lofgren: i yield myself two minutes. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. lofgren: this amendment is premised on a mistake and understanding of how uscis actually works. here's a fact that some people may not know. the uscis is funded, not by the taxpayers, it's funded by the fees of the applicants. and so the amendment seems to assume that the -- if you are out of status somehow somebody else is paying for you, the taxpayers or some other applicant. that's not the case. each applicant pays the money of processing their own fees. it does not delay others. what this amendment would do would not just deal with daca applicants. it wyoming pact people who i don't think want

hardworking taxpayers should never be stuck paying for an oil company's mess and the local property and businesses should not have have to slog through endless litigation just to get the compensation they deserve from a negligent oil company. this legislation would finally place the burden on the companies to clean up after themselves. third, i've introduced amendment number 76, which would allow our homeowners and business owners whose property has been damaged by a natural disaster to use federal disaster assistance funds to upgrade their property's energy efficiency. under current law disaster assistance can only be used to replace what was lost, even if that property was antiquated and not even up to current standards. so we need to have much more forward-looking policies that actually make sense. due to the effects of climate change we've seen a growing number of natural disasters in recent years from blizzards to hurricanes to raging fires to endless droughts. when we pick up the pieces after a major storm, we want to make sure that when we rebuild we rebuild in the smartest way p
