WASHINGTON (AP) — Who needs leafy greens and carrots when pizza and french fries will do? In an effort many 9-year-olds will cheer, Congress wants pizza and french fries to stay on school lunch lines and is fighting the Obama administration's efforts to take unhealthy foods out of schools. The ...
Following tonight's speech by Barack Obama, U.S. Rep. John Dingell, D-Dearborn, said he's hopeful Congress will join him in supporting the president's $447 billion jobs plan. "It was a vigorous speech. It sets out a program that the people have been waiting for and very much want and I intend ...
Americans’ disapproval of Congress is at its highest level EVER as an eye-popping 82 percent of Americans profess disdain for the job our national elected leaders are doing. Given the economic mess the country finds itself in -- an embarrassing political debt-ceiling circus, the stock-market roller-coaster and the financial hit ...
The Republicans are spreading the falsehood that the Democrats never passed a budget last year while they had control of Congress. The truth is that the Democrats in the House did pass a budget, but it was filibustered in the Senate by Republicans. Eventually, Harry Reid agreed to the Republican ...

Congressman Dingell, however, has stepped in to minimize cuts and help our system of public education meet its promise to Michigan students. In ...
Please stand with us to reject the disgusting campaign being run by Mark Schauer’s political machine. Mr. Schauer is obviously ashamed to run on his ultra-liberal record and, therefore, is using the Democrat’s old tactics of trying to scare voters with false accusations, distortions and words taken out of context ...
Rob Steele will bring the real "hope and change" Michigan needs. Who else but this highly experienced physician can work to undo the Obamacare that most Americans rightly detest and fear?
