Following up on my statement yesterday I support Speaker Pelosi’s statement today beginning formal impeachment proceedings in the House which reads in part:
STATEMENT ON IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS
STATEMENT ON IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS
The reported decision by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is unprecedented, dangerous, unacceptable and wrong. This decision is inconsistent and antithetical with the notions of democracy which the Prime Minister has repeatedly emphasized are a foundational feature of the relationship between our two nations.
You know, I’ve listened to all of the questions. And, as I listen, I’ve said to myself this reinforces to me the fact that I am a proud co-sponsor of the Butch-Lewis Act because it reassures tens of thousands of hard-working Americans in Illinois and across this nation that their government will protect their pensions from catastrophe. This markup is long overdue.
I applaud the Chairman and my colleagues for advancing the Economic Mobility Act and prioritizing children, families, and childless workers. Aside from the Affordable Care Act, this bill is probably the piece of legislation on which I will have voted that most directly and substantially improves the well-being of my constituents.
Mr. Chairman, I support this bill because it does much to support my constituents, my state, and our nation.
This bill includes important assistance for families struggling with medical costs and home foreclosures.
