  1. I wanted to share some remarkable new research from the Pew Research Center on avoiding the fiscal cliff with a common sense agreement, protecting the Middle Class and growing jobs.

    President Obama and our Democratic leadership are seeki...
    ng a solution that cuts federal spending in a responsible way, increases revenue by asking the most fortunate to pay their fair share, and protects Medicare and Social Security. That is what the American people sent us here to do.

    • I would like to address the issue of calling our Social Security Benefits, Federal Benefit Paymen/Entitlement. We paid into Social Security for years, it's not a gift, the Senoirs earned this money, it shouldbe more than what it is. We did not ask the government to make bad investments with our Social Security. Why is it at the Golden Days in Seniors Life, things are made harder for us. Medicine cost more utilities, food and so on. MR CLAY HELP THOSE WHO PUT YOU IN OFFICE, AND ARE VOTING TO KEEP YOU THERE.

    • In efforts to balance the budget, please don't cut education as part of the non-defense discretionary programs. It only receives 3% as it is. It should be receiving MORE!

      Please continue your support not to do away with the dollar bill. We do not need another heavy piece of change to carry. Thank you.

  3. 71 years ago today, on December 7, 1941, the Japanese Empire launched a surprise attack on U.S. Naval and Army Air Force installations at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

    More than 2,400 Americans were killed and many more were wounded.

    That "Day of Infamy" marked the United States' entry into World War II. From 1941 - 1945, more than 16 million Americans served in uniform.

    Almost 400,000 were killed in ...
    action.

    We give thanks for the courage of the greatest generation who defeated fascism and saved the world.

    We salute them for their brave service and many sacrifices.

    Freedom is not free.

    We will always remember Pearl Harbor.

  4. I will be honored to serve as the Dean of the Missouri U.S. House Delegation in the 113th Congress.
    Thanks to Rob Koenig of the St. Louis Beacon for this excellent piece.
  5. Congresswoman Jo Ann Emerson announced today that she will retire from the U.S. House in February, 2013.

    She has represented Southeast Missouri with honor and integrity.

    Jo Ann has always been a voice of calm, reason and common sense.

    She is a skilled legislator, a wonderful colleague, and a great friend of mine.

    Congresswoman Emerson represents the best of Missouri.

    I will miss her wise voice as Democrats and Republicans seek common ground to move the nation forward.
  6. 57 years ago today, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat and move to the back of the bus.

    Her simple act of courage still inspires us as we continue the struggle for equality under the law for all.
  7. Tomorrow is World AIDS Day, a time to recommit ourselves to prevention, education, testing and better treatment.

    HIV/AIDS is a global pandemic.

    According to the CDC, over 1.2 million Americans are living with this disease, and worldwide, more than 35 million people are infected.

    Last year, over 2 million people died from HIV/AIDS.

    In the United States, African Americans continue to represent a...
    disproportionately high percentage of newly infected patients.

    HIV/AIDs is a completely preventable disease.

    It requires education, personal responsibility and honesty about your status.

    Let’s make sure that everyone who is sick gets access to the best treatment without delay.

    And let’s work to bring about an AIDS-free generation.

    Wishing you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving.
  11. As some of you might know, I am a huge baseball fan, and I have the honor of representing the St. Louis Cardinals.

    So today, on behalf of Cardinal Nation, let's wish a very Happy 92th birthday to Cardinal Hall of Famer, #6, Stan "the Man" Musial!

    Stan was an incredible ballplayer and he remains one of the treasures of our community.
