FLOOR REMARKS ON DTV EXTENSION LEGISLATION

Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this legislation and extending the DTV deadline.

FLOOR REMARKS ON SCHIP
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2009

Madam Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the thousands of uninsured children in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Mr. Speaker, right now our nation is in the midst of a severe Category 5 financial storm.  The economic hardships associated with this financial hurricane have been harsh.

ONE MINUTE FLOOR STATEMENT ON INDIANA FLOODS AND TORNADOS
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 2008

Madam Speaker, over the last few weeks, my home state of Indiana has fallen victim to a string of severe weather incidents.  Recent tornados, thunderstorms, and flooding have seriously damaged and destroyed homes, schools, and businesses throughout the Hoosier state.

Congressman Andre Carson
7th District, Indiana
Remarks on HR 5818 The Neighborhood Stabilization Act of 2008
May 7, 2008

Madam Speaker:

I rise today in strong support of HR 5818, the Neighborhood Stabilization Act of 2008. This bill is extremely important to me as a Representative from Indiana's Seventh Congressional District.  My district has suffered with disproportionately high rates of foreclosures.  In fact, Indiana has consistently rated among the top 10 states nationally for foreclosures along with Michigan and Ohio.
