I will continue to work in Washington to oppose any efforts to expand drilling off our Coasts and to challenge my colleagues to adopt responsible energy policies.

Studies have indicated there is a strong correlation between the shortages of nurses and morbidity and mortality rates in our hospitals.

In reality drilling is the slowest, dirtiest, and most expensive way to solve our energy crisis.

As we may know, osteoporosis affects around 10 million Americans, most of whom are over 55, and it is the cause of an estimated 1.5 million fractures annually.

Mr. Speaker, less than 10 percent of our Nation's children walk or ride their bicycles to school, and too many schools continue to invite fast-food vendors into their cafeterias.

Nurses serve their patients in the most important capacities. We know that they serve as our first lines of communication when something goes wrong or when we are concerned about health.

I have been working for years to promote a responsible energy policy that works to increase energy efficiency and invest in alternative and renewable energy sources.

What we need to do is really improve energy efficiency standards, develop in full scale renewable and alternative energy and use the one resource we have in abundance, our creativity.

The refusal to acknowledge the scientific value of embryonic stem cell research is one more tragic misstep.

With 3 percent of the worlds resources and 25 percent of the worlds demand, it is pretty obvious this country cannot drill its way to energy security.

Each year thousands of embryos, no bigger than the head of a pin, are created in the process of in vitro fertilization, with the support of Congress, by the way.

I am human and I need to be loved, just like everybody else does.

Unless the relationship of law to Christianity is re-established, there is no future except destruction for Western culture.

Everything is connected. We see the signs every moment. There are miracles waiting to happen!

He who wants a rose must respect the thorn.

Only recently I’ve learned, it’s an obvious thing, but it just took me a while to realize

The modern world... has no notion except that of simplifying something by destroying nearly everything.

Seeing family is what brings me peace. If I'm not traveling home on my day off, I love going to Central Park to be around trees and throw a Frisbee with my boyfriend.

Men lie, and they lie to theirselves worst of all.

No work begun shall ever pause for death.

I'm bi-lots of things but lingual isn't one of them. Wait, did I mean to say that?
