After The Great Depression And After Public Urging, A Nationwide Public Competition Was Held To Determine A Design For A Memorial That Would Honor President Thomas Jefferson's Bold Vision For Westward Expansion For America.

Americans Rightly Asked, If This Is The Way Our Government Responds To A Natural Disaster It Knew About Days In Advance, How Would It Respond To A Surprise Terrorist Attack? How Would It Respond To An Earthquake?

We Have A Va Hospital Back Home In St. Louis. Like Many Of Our Colleagues, We Hear Continued Concerns About The Access And The Service. I Have Seen A Statistic That More Than 60,000 Veterans Today Are Waiting More Than 6 Months For An Appointment At A Va Hospital.

It Is Time This Congress Listened To The American People And Minimum-wage Workers, And It Is Time That We Act.
