(WASHINGTON) - U.S. Rep.

Statement by Ros-Lehtinen: "If the Law Library of Congress was to succumb to political pressures, it would cast a permanent shroud of doubt on its position as an objective and credible research service. "I am pleased that the Law Library has stood by its independent analysis and has provided further evidence to demonstrate the intricate legal review conducted by its experts to reach the conclus... more

House Republicans have churned out their latest myths and scare tactics about health insurance reform. In fact, they took time to produce a list of distortions about the Affordable Health Care for America Act before they even released their own ideas—a substitute bill that USA Today calls "a missed opportunity." Here's a myth-by-myth response to the Republican Study Committee. MYTH: H.R. 3962 harms small businesses by raising taxes and making them cover workers. FACT: Both claims are wrong. The House bill is good for small businesses and for working Americans ... allowing them access to affordable, large-group rates in their health insurance policies and insurance plans with better benefits, and eliminating discriminator... more

Bill Clears EPW Committee with Incomplete Cost Estimates Washington, DC ... Idaho Senator Mike Crapo, a member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, issued this statement following Committee action to pass a climate change cap and trade bill. The bill was reported out of committee with no Republican members present.

"If some Senators wish to proceed with th... more

Below are the facts. MYTH: "Reform Could Mean Jail Time for Americans Who Don't Buy Insurance" FACT: Reform includes a shared responsibility requirement, for those who don't already have insurance to either purchase affordable health insurance or pay a fee of 2.5 percent of their income so they are not driving up everyone else's health costs. Under the bill, the only people who would face the fee for not purchasing insurance are... more

"Mr. Speaker, we are a great nation, a prosperous and compassionate one. But our health care system doesn't measure up to that greatness.

Around the United States, peace groups are engaged in effective campaigns against proposed new military installations, local funding of weapons companies, and the routine destruction of the environment and of workers' health by such companies. Activists are building better media outlets, educating young people, educating old people, keeping military testing and recruiting out of schools, and discouraging the Army from building real-weapon video arcades in shopping malls. But when it comes to stopping our wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, our citizens are less clear how to go about it. The peace movement was defunded and demobilized by the absurd belief that an election alone would make a difference, and now there is widespread d... more

The Society for Neuroscience just held its annual conference in Chicago. I attended—not as a member, though neuroscience is my field, but to protest the organization's stated goal of broadening support for animal research. The society, like animal experimenters everywhere, perceives "growing threats" to animal research and seeks to recruit additional allies with a "vested interest" in promoting animal experimentation. Every vested interest is entitled to its own propaganda, but such an effort warrants a response from neuroscience researchers who instead advocate kindness to animals. Neuroscientists with established research credentials and a PETA membership are rare. They are often viewed by faculty colleagues as untrustworthy ... more
