As President Barack Obama begins to bring more of our men and women in uniform home from Iraq and Afghanistan, we should use Memorial Day as an opportunity to remember the sacrifices that American soldiers of all social and political stripes have made in defense of our country.
The Affordable Care Act is an historic piece of legislation that ensures that Americans across the board can afford to stay healthy. The new statistics on health savings are a testament to the success of this reform, and I will continue to stand with President Obama to defend the healthcare benefits millions of Americans are now receiving as a result.
Congressman Charles Rangel released the following statement in honor of National Small Business Week, recognizing the contributions small business owners and entrepreneurs have made to his congressional district and the nation's economy:
The following article was written by Joshua Jacobs, a constituent of my 15th Congressional District.With nearly 1 billion people in the world going hungry, the issues of food security and food sovereignty directly affect more people now than ever before....
Congress needs to attract and keep good jobs in the United States by passing legislation that gives companies a new 20 percent tax credit for the cost of moving their operations back to the U.S. and pay for it by eliminating tax incentives that allow companies to deduct the costs of moving their business abroad.

Thanks to the ACA, 18,000 children and 90,000 adults in our Manhattan Congressional District join the millions of Americans who have access to free preventive services such as HIV testing and cancer screenings. These patients can come to the Ryan Center and other community health centers funded by the ACA and be treated with dignity, confidentiality and respect.
President Obama's budget offers a vast reduction in the deficit while ensuring prosperity for all Americans. The Ryan Budget does neither. It is nothing more than Robin Hood in reverse: it would produce the largest redistribution of income from the bottom to the top in modern history.
It is unfair to ask taxpayers to pay taxes on their taxes. If others levels of government (i.e. states and municipalities) are already claiming that revenue, it is not part of any taxpayer's disposable income. By removing the deduction for state and local taxes, Gov. Romney's proposal would mean that the government taxes ordinary Americans twice, which seems a little hypocritical coming from such an ardent supporter of tax cuts for the wealthy.
Today's young minority men and women should expect nothing less from themselves than a college degree. Moreover, they should demand nothing less from their country than affordable options for a higher education. Congress must take action to make college accessible for everyone.
