Americans Deserve Better

I went to the House floor this week to give my colleagues in Congress a wake up call. Americans are fed up with our government and its latest scandals – and they should be.

If You Have the Strength to Stand – ‘Stand Up for Obamacare’

In 2012, when Barack Obama was fairly unpopular, Organizing for America helped get him reelected by convincing voters who were basically ambivalent about reelecting the president to walk like mindless zombies to the polls and vote for Obama.
