Any veteran can tell you it is already hard enough to see a doctor down at the VA and get the health care they were promised when they signed up to serve this country.
Nick Lampson As southeast Texas's only Member of the House Transportation Committee, I'm especially proud of being able to help bring hundreds of millions of dollars to the region to create jobs and improve the area infrastructure. Nick Lampson But this Veterans Day, I believe we should do more than sing the praises of the bravery and patriotism that our veterans have embodied in the past. We should take this opportunity to re-evaluate how we are treating our veterans in the present. Nick Lampson Congress should stop treating veterans like they're asking for a hand out when it comes to the benefits they were promised, and they should realize that, were it not for these veterans, there would be nothing to hand out. Nick Lampson Every year, politicians use Veteran's Day to praise those who have risked their lives to defend our freedoms. That is as it should be. Nick Lampson For all the reasons named above, my colleagues and I urge the United Nations to consider Taiwan's bid to return to the U.N. with thought and wisdom. Nick Lampson Free nations of the world cannot allow Taiwan, a beacon of democracy, to be subdued by an authoritarian China. Nick Lampson I also want to thank my hard-working staff both in Texas and Washington, who fought hard and effectively served the people of southeast Texas. Nick Lampson I am also proud of my work on the House Science Committee, and to serve as the ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics. Nick Lampson I will continue to push for doubling the strength of the U.S. Border Patrol, and to make sure that every cargo container that enters this nation is screened for radiation and potential weapons of mass destruction. Nick Lampson More needs to be done to take the fight to the enemy and secure our borders against the terrorist threat. We need more protection on land, sea and air. Nick Lampson Moreover, as we live in an era of the ascendancy of democracy and human rights, we must see that Taiwan has been a vibrant democracy with a democratically elected president and legislature. Nick Lampson Mr. Speaker, in seeking to return to the United Nations, the Republic of China on Taiwan will once again ask diplomatic allies to present its case before the United Nations this fall. Nick Lampson My primary work was to promote development of space, and I also introduced the Space Exploration Act in the beginning of my third term. Nick Lampson None of the things I have done would have been accomplished without a true team effort. Nick Lampson One of the most important accomplishments of the Caucus is raising awareness with law enforcement and communities nationwide on the issues of child safety and Internet safety. Nick Lampson Such an arrangement would provide Taiwan and China with a forum for dialogue whereby they may forge closer ties based on mutual understanding and respect, leading to permanent peace in the Taiwan Strait. Nick Lampson The local communities, through their leaders, were able to build a communications network that allowed my work here to reflect the needs and interests of the people within the 9th Congressional District. It's been an honor to do that and we did so successfully. Nick Lampson The war on terror is a fight that we did not start, but it is one that we shall finish. Nick Lampson There is nothing nobler than risking your life for your country. Nick Lampson Today, I will vote in support of the Marriage Protection Amendment. I shall do so because like President Bush, I strongly believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Nick Lampson We are telling veterans they must sacrifice to pay for the pet projects and contracts to campaign donors of powerful members of Congress. Nick Lampson We must always emphasize research and development of science and mathematics, and I can think of no better way to achieve this than through our future in space. Nick Lampson We were also able to do a great deal of work to improve highways, airports and airways, waterways, and railways, all of which are important and have provided a better quality of life and economic development opportunities for my constituents. Nick Lampson With 1.7 million private sector jobs lost and half a million jobs shipped overseas over the past three years, we must take action to spur job creation and restore economic prosperity.
