    Today, I stood with my fellow Democrats to call on Speaker Boehner to work with us to enact common sense legislation to prevent another tragic shooting. We need to consider real solutions like limiting the size of clips, closing the gun show loophole and keeping the most dangerous guns off the street.

    As a father and a grandfather, my heart goes out to the families affected by today’s tragic shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. I join with all Americans in prayer for the young lives that were loss in this horrific event at Sandy Hook Elementary.

    In the coming days, many will say that we should not politicize this tragedy by using it as a platform for a tough discussion on gun control. However, w...e must ignore those calls because to do so would be the real politicization of this violent act.

    No longer can we simply turn away from these mass shootings and hope that one day they will end. Instead, we must have a real and frank discussion on the role of guns in our society. Congress and the states must pursue meaningful gun control laws that prevent weapons from getting into the hands of individuals who would commit these horrendous crimes.

    Our nation and the children of Sandy Hook Elementary demand that we have that discussion now.    See More

    Today the Marine Debris Act was sent to the President's desk for his signature. The act helps to continue funding the NOAA's Marine Debris Program that combats the harmful effects of ocean trash. With storms like Hurricane Sandy and last ...year's Japanese tsunami, the problems associated with marine debris have been increasing. I was proud to sponsor this common sense legislation that received unanimous support in both the House and Senate, so that one day our oceans may be healthy and debris free.See More

    The only pledge that I took is to uphold the Constitution on behalf of all Central Coast families. I will choose groceries over Grover any day.

    I had the honor today to tape a short message to our troops to see during the holidays. As we enjoy this time of year with our families, let's also make sure to remember the sacrifices of our brave men and women plus their families who won't be together during this holiday season. Thank you to all who have or continue to serve.
