"Today's passage in the Senate of the Farm Bill is a positive step forward on legislation that invests in our communities and creates jobs."

"At the end of the day, the Chairman and committee Republicans refused to take ‘yes' for an answer. Instead, they are continuing to spend time on an issue - ‘gun-walking' - that we all agree should not be used, that dates back to the Bush Administration, and that ended under the Obama Administration."

"Today, House Republicans reversed their opposition to a step for greater transparency in our politics. For a brief moment, Republicans saw the light, and as a result, America's voters will benefit from increased accountability, expanded disclosure, and more access to information about the campaign ads flooding our airwaves."

"San Francisco has always led the way in infrastructure investments that grow our economy and spur prosperity for local communities. This $10 million commitment for transportation at Mission Bay builds on that record: to create jobs in our city and serve as a model for sustainable development nationwide."

"Together we will commit to turning the tide, as the theme indicates, toward the next phase in our fight - fewer infections, a cure, and an end to HIV/AIDS."

"We salute President Obama and Secretary Napolitano for their extraordinary action today to honor the American values of equality and opportunity."

“Today, President Obama presented a clear vision for America's future prosperity and economic growth - a future defined by a thriving middle class, good-paying jobs for our workers, opportunity for small businesses, and fairness for all Americans."

“Today's announcement is a victory for the workers and small businesses of San Francisco, a triumph for our local economy, and a critical step forward in our effort to strengthen and expand industries of innovation."
