We must address the environmental impacts of our nuclear weapons complex, to ensure the health and safety of those communities affected.

We must not turn our backs on those who are serving our country. That is one of many reasons why Congress should avoid full implementation of sequestration by passing a balanced plan that closes tax loopholes, trims entitlements, and slows future growth of spending.

Social Security is the ultimate legislative expression of our nation's shared values. For over 75 years, it has tied generation to generation. It ensures that seniors have a secure retirement after decades of service to their communities. And it provides a safety net for those who can no longer work due to an accident or disability.
