Press Releases
M. Speaker, I rise today to talk about jobs.
I am not alone – everyone here TALKS about jobs.
One side offers solutions to create jobs and the other side stands in the way, blaming the President.
It’s been more than 250 days since the Republicans took control of the House, and they have failed to pass a single bill to address the jobs crisis.
They will say the President has failed, but it is this Majority that has failed the American people.
President Obama presented his plan to create jobs.
Several of my colleagues did not even attend.
'The Debt Ceiling has nothing to do with the deficit, but has become a politicized distraction for Republicans and an obstacle to economic recovery.'
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Representatives Hank Johnson (D-GA), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Jim Moran (D-VA) introduced the Full Faith and Credit Act of 2011 in order to eliminate the federal debt ceiling, a law they view as unnecessary and increasingly an impediment to Congress’s ability to further economic recovery.
Congressmen Lewis, Johnson: ‘Justice is at stake’
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Reps. Hank Johnson (GA-04) and John Lewis (GA-05) sent a letter today signed by more than 50 other members of the Congress to the Georgia State Board of Pardons & Paroles, urging the board to stop the killing of Troy Davis.
Johnson has been fighting to stop Davis’ execution since 2007. Davis was convicted of murdering an off-duty police officer in Savannah in 1989.
Buenos días – estoy complacido de estar con todos ustedes aquí en Stone Mountain para esta importante conmemoración. Gracias al alcalde Wheeler, los miembros del consejo de la ciudad, funcionarios electos y los organizadores Jack Sartain, el Dr. George Coletti y Cornetas a través de América.
Y gracias a todos los ciudadanos que se tomaron el tiempo para venir esta mañana, y a todos nuestros oficiales y personal de emergencia que están aquí; a quienes también quiero agradecerles por todo lo que hacen.
Good morning – it’s good to be with all of you here in Stone Mountain for such an important commemoration. Thank you to Mayor Wheeler, members of the city council, elected officials and the organizers Jack Sartain, Dr. George Coletti and Bugles Across America.
And thank you to all the citizens who took time to come out this morning, and to all of our officers and first responders who are here as well, thank you for all that you do.
“Tonight President Obama offered a practical and politically feasible plan to create jobs.
Extending unemployment insurance, employee payroll tax deductions, hiring tax credits and targeted infrastructure investments are proven, non-controversial measures that everyone can support.
The American Jobs Act is substantial enough to attack the jobs crisis nationwide.”
