mr. allen: thank you, mr. speaker. a decision to hold lois lerner in contempt of congress was not taken lightly. not surprisingly the obama administration's department of justice unilaterally decided not to prosecute lois lerner for her unlawful actions. however, congress vowed to continue to find answers and hold the i.r.s. accountable for its actions. this is why i stand before you today. i refuse to allow another american to be persecuted and targeted by i.r.s. bureaucrats for expressing their first amendment rights no matter their beliefs. the households the power of the purse, as such it is within our authority to gut the i.r.s. where it hurts the most, their use of hard-earned tax dollars. h.r. 4903 prohibits the i.r.s. from using funds made available by any law to target citizens for exercising their first amendment rights. today i urge my colleagues to stand with me to ensure that the i.r.s. no longer oversteps its authority and support the god-given constitutional rights of every american. no american should f

mr. allen: thank you, mr. chairman. thanks for your work on this important bill. mr. speaker, i rise today in support of h.r. 2666 the no rate regulation of broadband internet access act. the bill does just that, prohibits the federal communications commission from unnecessarily regulating broadband rates. this legislation ensures that not only the current commission but future commissions do not have the option to regulate broadband internet rates. protecting the free market and encouraging competition and promoting jobs. that's what we need to be all about. plain and simple, un-elected washington bureaucrats at the f.c.c. have set out with another solution in search of a problem. by shifting the classification of broadband internet to be a title 2 common carrier, the f.c.c. is simply reclassifying broadband internet to fall under their rule making purview. this is nothing more than another power grab by the administration to regulate and control yet another strifment it is i--- industry. it is estimated that if rules regulating broadband services are carried out, it

rue dock's new york post endorsed him, the daily news attacked its rival over the retirement of mr. allen. the news story about the so-called belligerent boss includes blind quotes from staffers. keep in mind that mark zuckerman's daily news -- >>> presidential candidates have always showcased their families. this week they are all over the air waves casting their husband or dad in a softer light. >> i think the way he raised me and the way he raised tiffany, it's a testament to the fact that he believes in inspiring women and empowering women. he always toout taught me there wasn't anything i couldn't do. >> i was back for caroline's datdy daughter picnic at school which featured all the dads running and playing games and -- >> my favorite. >> her favorite was that she got to dress up daddy in a pink boa and goofy looking. >> underwear. >> underwear. >> the first time at the victory party he asked me to dance and that was like the end. it was the beginning of everything. >> cruz daughters are cute.

mr. rick allen from georgia. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from georgia is recognized for one minute. mr. allen: i thank the gentleman for yielding. mr. speaker, today i rise in support of h.j.res. 88, legislation that would disapprove of the department of labor's fiduciary rule. this new d.o.l. fiduciary rule definition will impose costly new mandates and burdensome regulations on retirement advisors. this will negatively affect and disproportionately hurt low and middle income families seeking retirement advice who do not have enough in savings to afford an ongoing fee for service approach. in other words, it is just another washington one-size-fits-all solution that hurts those who may need financial advice the most. five years ago the obama administration introduced a similar rule that was met with much opposition. well, not much has changed in those five years. this rule will do more harm than good to the very people it is claiming to protect. . the majority of my time in washington is fighting exec

allen, good morning. >> caller: good morning. i couldn't thank mr. berg far better seg way to my question.n have people who don't remember the history of broadcast rules and the government was giving away licenses for the public interest, convenience and necessity back in the 1930s without compensation to the treasury and understood they would be acting as trustees for the public. then with buckley v. valeo saying that money is speech, there was never really a strong argument made if that's the case then when the government began to give away public property to broadcasters for free then basically the government was giving public money away without any compensation in kind or in cash for the public good that's being given away to the broadcasters. and that problem became compounded when reagan did away with the fairness doctrine in the mid-'80s that used to require equal time to holders of contrary viewpoints when controversial statements were made on air. so we've had a system now that's basically been taken over by people who are using public resources without adequately taking account o

mr. president, i see that in my own state of maryland. smith allen, which is disappearing in the chesapeake bay. i see it in the chesapeake bay with the loss of sea grasses because of warmer water temperatures. sea grasses are critically important to the survival of the maryland blue crab. i see it in our coastal safety as we see more and more storms with more consequences. recently i traveled to the southern part of africa and had a chance to see from a helicopter the impact of climate change. in the southern part of africa they have only two seasons. the rainy season and the dry season. about now it is the dry season. we were there during the rainy season and flew by helicopter over land that this should have been part of a pond. instead it was dry, no water. so were carcasses of animals because they couldn't survive because of the drought. climate change is real and affecting our planet. there are vulnerable nations from the marshal islands to bangladesh and so many others that are countries that very existence is at risk because of climate change
