I did not come to Washington to raise the electricity rates by as much as $40 per month as this plan would do.

As a lifelong Oregonian, I prefer our forests green, not black.

As federal lawmakers, we have a responsibility to set a precedent for energy efficient practices.

It is up to us as lawmakers to provide the resources and streamlined processes that will enable our federal forest managers to become the best possible steward of our lands.

Removing substantial fuel loads from our forests helps prevent catastrophic fire and better protects species, watersheds and neighboring communities that call them home.

My prescription for better health is to let go of the six things that could be destroying it—anger, regret, blame, resentment, worry, and guilt.

A work can become modern only if it is first postmodern. Postmodernism thus understood is not modernism at its end but in the nascent state, and this state is constant.

People cannot do what they cannot think, and they cannot think what they cannot say.
