It is time for a New Direction for our nation's energy policies.

I want to thank the efforts of the American Public Health Association and its 200-plus partners who have organized events around the Nation that serve to raise everyone's awareness of the need to improve public health.

In America today, the percentage of children and adolescents who are defined as overweight is more than double what it was in the early 1970s.

The refusal to acknowledge the scientific value of embryonic stem cell research is one more tragic misstep.

In addition, for almost a year now I have been urging the President, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Trade Commission to investigate suspicious gas price spikes.

Each year thousands of embryos, no bigger than the head of a pin, are created in the process of in vitro fertilization, with the support of Congress, by the way.

Unfortunately, we are still in an age where individuals may be discriminated against because of health conditions.
