    Breaking News: The Supreme Court is going to take up Prop. 8 and the discriminatory “Defense of Marriage Act.” I sincerely hope this move finally puts us on the path to marriage equality for Californians and all Americans.

       There has been a troubling rise in drug and human trafficking off the California coast. I’m working with Rep. Lois Capps, Rep. Janice Hahn to ensure that our coast guard and customs officials have the resources to fight this dangerous activity. LIKE if you agree with our work.

    Today I had the privilege of meeting with NASA Astronaut and UCSB Alum Joe Acaba. Joe just returned from the International Space Station and I really enjoyed hearing firsthand about his experience from Santa Barbara to space. Go Gauchos!

Each year, about 200,000 Americans are hospitalized due to complications from the flu, yet the vaccine could prevent most of these illnesses.

    five years ago activists created the AIDS Memorial Quilt with panels of the names of those taken by AIDS. Today it has been digitized and can be viewed in its entirety. I encourage you to view and explore the Quilt online. It is a somber experience, but also proves to be exceptional in reminding us of the individual humanity of each of those lost in this epidemic. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/aidsquilt/

    Congress should extend the middle class tax cuts now. Failing to do so would cost the typical middle class $2,200 next year and hurt our economy. What would a $2,200 tax hike mean to your family? #My2K

    A new report from the White House shows a looming middle class tax hike would be devastating to our economy as the typical middle class family sees taxes go up by $2,200. It’s time to pass the middle class tax cuts now and bring economic security this holiday season. http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/uploads/consumer_report_embargo.pdf
