- I was honored to participate in an event last night honoring veterans, highlighting the Veterans History Project to help preserve the experiences of our service members, and screening the powerful documentary, Honor Flight, which follows four Wisconsin WWII veterans on their journey to DC to visit the memorials built in their honor. Thank you to all those who have served this great country.

Today, HHS released data showing that 5.8 million seniors have saved $5.1 billion on prescription drugs as a result of the Affordable Care Act. In 2012 alone, over 40,000 Wisconsinites in the “donut hole” have saved an average of $704. Like or share this post if you agree that the Affordable Care Act is working for Wisconsin.- LikesSee All

As the recently selected Chair of the New Democrat Coalition, I'm honored to work with a group of my colleagues who are dedicated to creating jobs and getting our economy back on track. We have an opportunity now to find ways to work across the aisle and bring our country back together again - the New Democrat Coalition can play a critical role in achieving that.- Wisconsin exported a record $2.85 billion worth of agricultural products in 2011, up 18% over 2010. Clearly, exporting creates economic opportunity for our producers. Today,Tim Walz and I sent a letter asking Ambassador Kirk and Sec. Vilsack to prevent Russia from using discriminatory trade practices against our producers. Share this post if you think our dairy farmers deserve this growth opportunity. http://www.kind.house.gov/

It's time to reach a long-term deal to address our budget challenges. Check out my Fox Business interview on the looming fiscal cliff.Rep. Ron Kind shared a link.
Governor Walker put partisan politics before people today. Instead of allowing Wisconsin to run its own health insurance exchange, make key health care decisions for Wisconsinites, and better meet the needs of families and businesses here a...t home, he punted that responsibility to Washington. We must find a way to rise above the politics, work together, and provide access to quality, affordable coverage for the people of Wisconsin. http://www.wispolitics.com/index.iml?Article=284512See MoreRep.

Congress clearly has a lot to do before the end of the year. Now is the time to compromise and reach a long-term budget agreement, not kick the can further down the road.

Today, I joined Senator Herb Kohl, Senator-Elect Tammy Baldwin, @Gwen S. Moore, and Rep - Elect Mark Pocan in encouraging Governor Walker to move forward and implement a state-based health insurance exchange. It is critical that the State of Wisconsin is able to set up the exchange that best meets the needs of small businesses, family farmers and consumers here at home.Rep. Ron Kind shared a link.
A huge thanks to the dedicated troops and veterans who have served our country to promote and defend freedom. I hope you'll take this Veterans Day to encourage a veteran in your life to preserve their story as part of the Veterans History P...roject, the largest oral history collection in the world. These experiences are an important part of history and a permanent reminder of the sacrifices made defending our country.
