Hatch Explores Cap-and-Trade Legislation’s Impact on American Jobs, Global Climate

WASHINGTON – At a Senate Finance Committee hearing today, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, explored the impact cap-and-trade proposals would have on American Jobs. Titled “Climate Change Legislation: Considerations for Future Jobs,” the hearing included testimony by various experts.

Saluting our Veterans
Veterans Day is both humbling and inspiring for any American who reflects on the sacrifices of the brave men and women we celebrate. Their examples awaken us to a sense of modesty and inspire us to defend freedom in our own spheres of influence.

From our earliest veterans who fought for the establishment of a free nation in the Revolutionary War, to today’s heroes in Afghanistan and Iraq, we salute these unconquerable souls who risk their lives to protect ours. To them we owe reverence and enduring gratitude.

They are our fathers, our mothers, our children, our siblings and friends. May we remember, especially this day, to honor them for preserving our freedom and making it possible for us to live the rich lives that we do.
