While Haiti has recently celebrated more than 200 years of independence from French colonial rule, the citizens of the island remain vulnerable to poverty, poor health, and political chaos.

I believe that ultimately the situation in Kosovo can only be resolved through self-determination.

I wholeheartedly support umbilical stem cell research, but also support embryonic stem cell research.

It is my hope that as we commemorate Black History Month in the future, we will continue to celebrate the many achievements and rich culture of African-Americans.

I very much regret that our administration has pushed the whole issue of Kosovo to the back burner.
