Titus Joins House Democrats to Reaffirm Her Support for Strengthening Social Security and Protecting it from PrivatizationJuly 28, 2010"I am here today to highlight the importance of strengthening Social Security. We need to protect it from the misguided attempts to privatize it. It has been a success for 75 years. Those monthly Social Security checks that seniors rely on provide a safety net from poverty and are a key component for a dignified retirement after a lifetime of hard work. Seniors contributed to Social Security. They paid into it, they earned it, they deserve it, and they depend on it."
Titus Congratulates Herculez Gomez on the House Floor for his World Cup PerformanceJuly 28, 2010“I want to congratulate Herculez and his teammates for their performance in the tournament. Their teamwork and passion inspired millions of fans throughout the United States and was just a preview of what USA soccer can do in the future. I wish the best of luck to Herculez Gomez and welcome him home to District Three where he is a local hero and a role model to many aspiring young soccer players.”
Titus Honors the Life of Former Nevada Governor Kenny GuinnJuly 27, 2010"As a former Clark County School Superintendant, Governor Guinn led efforts to improve Nevada’s system of education, and through our shared commitment to both teachers and students we became friends as well as colleagues. It was thanks to his leadership we created the Millennium Scholarship, which bears his name and has helped some 60,000 Nevadans fulfill the dream of a college education. That is his legacy."
Titus’ Worker Safety Bill Included in Mine Safety LegislationJuly 21, 2010"That is why I am offering an amendment which will provide a middle ground. This amendment will protect both workers and states’ rights by giving OSHA options other than complete plan termination when a state plan is found to be underperforming."
Titus on the Importance of Protecting Social Security for Nevada’s SeniorsJuly 20, 2010"Yet as we celebrate 75 years of this outstanding program, it is once again under attack by Republicans who want to dismantle the system and spend trillions of dollars in a risky privatization scheme that gambles senior citizens’ savings in the stock market while lining the pockets of Wall Street."
Titus’ Weekends Without Hunger Bill Included in Child Nutrition ActJuly 15, 2010"While school meals help keep children healthy and ready to learn during the days that school is in session, there is currently no targeted federal nutrition program that is available to provide these children with food during the weekend or during holidays. A vacation from school should not mean hunger for children."
