Tonight I joined my neighbors in Salem and people around the country in a moment of silence for those families suffering in Newtown, Connecticut. Like you, I remain shocked, saddened and recommitted to common sense gun control reform that will keep our children safe.

- Pleased to keynote today's Day of Action rally at Faneuil Hall. We must find a solution to the "Fiscal Cliff" and it cannot be on the backs of middle-class families.
- It was an honor to guest lecture Chancellor Meehan's course this morning and to speak with students about the challenges facing Congress in the coming year.
- As many of you have noted, we are facing tough economic decisions in the weeks ahead. Please know that I am working to ensure that we find a balanced approach, one that raises revenues, protects critical investments, and makes responsible cuts to spending. As part of this process, I am committed to extending tax cuts for all Americans on the first $250,000 they earn and believe we should let the additional tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires expire. Please continue to let me know your thoughts and concerns in the coming days.
- Thanks to all who watched the hearing last week concerning the rising rates of autism. Like you, I agree there is a critical need for more research into the causes of autism. Be assured I will continue to press the witnesses who testified at the hearing to provide Congress and the public with the information they pledged to look into. I remain committed to keeping this issue a top priority for Congress and the Administration.

Important points raised in today’s The Sun News editorial. In Congress, I’ve authored legislation – the Workforce Investment Act of 2012 – that ensures workers get the skills and training they need to compete for jobs in manufacturing and other growing industries in Massachusetts.Congressman John Tierney shared a link.
Tomorrow marks the 19th annual World AIDS Day. I join many across the country and world to pause and recommit to our efforts to find a cure.

- Today, I had the opportunity to tour Cell Signaling Technology (CST) Inc. in Danvers – a company working on breakthrough science for cancer research. CST has grown from a staff of 7 employees to 470 and is an example of how support and funding for research and development expands business opportunity and grows jobs locally.
