I am about the people of the United States of America and the people of Houston, Texas.

Millions of Americans find community, comfort and support in their faith.

Maybe the word welfare should be changed to something of, 'a transitional living fund.' For that is what it is - for people to be able to live.

Maybe I should offer a good thanks to the distinguished members of the majority, the Republicans, my chairman and others, for giving us an opportunity to have a deliberative constitutional discussion that reinforces the sanctity of this nation and how well it is that we have lasted some 400 years operating under a constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional and what is not.

My town hall meetings are with friends and neighbors, fellow Americans. We engage.

Many of us in Congress have been calling on the Administration to articulate a bold mission for NASA. It seems that the President is answering that call. I wholeheartedly support his vision for going back to the moon, and from there to worlds beyond.

The greatness of Americans is that we are mosaic - we are diverse.
