- Thank you to our brave service men and women who protect America and keep us safe! After every war in modern U.S. history, our nation has honored our Veterans with parades, and now that the Iraq War has concluded, our community will have its first parade honoring post-9/11 Veterans this Saturday.
- Today on the House Floor, Democrats are urging House Republicans to allow the House to vote on extending tax cuts for middle class families and small businesses. Congress can't wait to do the right thing and must protect the middle class now while fiscal cliff negotiations continue.

The Supreme Court’s decision to take up the issue of same-sex marriage is a major step forward for lesbian and gay Americans who have long fought for their constitutional right to fairness and equality. The Defense of Marriage Act is an af...front to our country’s values of ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,’ and I hope the Supreme Court will rule against this unjust legislation so that all Americans can be assured the same civil rights under the law.See MoreMike Quigley shared a link.

Both sides in Congress agree on extending middle class tax cuts, so why hasn't it happened? Mike knows middle class families can’t afford for this vote to be further delayed and has signed the petition to bring the bipartisan Senate bill to the House floor right away.- We're proud to announce our District Office is a donation site for Cook County Commissioner John Fritchey's Annual Helping Hands Campaign.

The 5th District's small businesses help build our thriving community and local economy. Thank you to Local First Chicago for reminding us to eat, drink and buy local this holiday season!- SOUND OFF: If Congress doesn't act before the end of the year, all Bush-era tax cuts will expire and automatic federal spending cuts will go into effect through a process known as sequestration. Independent experts agree that this combination would be very damaging to our economic recovery. As Congress continues negotiating to avoid the “fiscal cliff,” what actions do you think we should take? Should we extend tax cuts for the top 2% or only those making less than $250,000? Are there federal programs you believe should be cut?
