Congress recessed late last week and I am back at home in the 17th Congressional District. Like many Americans, I will have the privilege of celebrating Thanksgiving with my family. My thoughts and prayers are with those serving in uniform far from home.
As we celebrate this holiday, I am thankful for the honor of serving in Congress. We all share the hardship and uncertainty of an economy that has taken the worst turn since the Great Depression and the news is filled with the gloom of recession and bailout.
Even though this is a difficult time, I am optimistic and have hope that the new leadership of President-Elect Obama and a Democratic Majority in both the House and Senate will stop digging and begin to climb out of this hole. As we speak, The Obama Economic Team is working diligently to embark on a path to economic recovery that fosters both growth and stability.
I know that with your continued help and support we will successfully face the challenges ahead. The leaders of the Nation are determined and I am excited and honored to be a part.

I do believe you want to do all you can to
improve the bad state of our Nation. But I
also believe we the people must step
up to the plate and work to make it happen.
Corporate America is no longer American, and
has not been for many years.(20 or more )
You, Me and We the people need to get educated, wake up and start working to
rebuild our manufacturing base and buy
what is produced only on American soil.
The American consumer does have the power
to change it all. We need to define what is
an American corporation, if profits and jobs
are shipped out of the country by a corporation who hangs a sign in Detroit or
where ever, does that alone make them American.
This has been a long time coming and it will
take years to correct - ONLY IF WE THE PEOPLE WANT TO CORRECT IT!!!!
Again, I believe you care and can help make
a difference, if WE also do our part.
Multinational corportations based in the US
have put us in the trick bag.
Keep up the good work!
