Dear Friend,
Yesterday I joined my colleague from Texas, Gene Green in introducing H.R. 2791, the Responsible Electronics Recycling Act (RERA) of 2013. This bipartisan legislation promotes the U.S. recycling industry by prohibiting the exportation of some electronics whose improper disposal may create environmental, health, or national security risks.

Dear Friends,
Today I joined my Republican colleague from Pennsylvania, Jim Gerlach, in announcing that we will introduce the bipartisan Conservation Easement Incentive Act of 2013. The legislation provides a permanent tax incentive to family farmers, ranchers, and other landowners who chose not develop their land and instead preserve their property for conservation.

At the base of the Statue of Liberty there is an inscription that reads "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." This spirit of new freedoms and greater opportunities has welcomed generations of immigrant families to America, mine included.
