W/ so many still struggling to put food on the table, it is inexcusable that House leaders are trying to slash nutrition help in #FarmBill

Hope that #SCOTUS review of #DOMA cases will recognize its discriminatory&harmful impacts on families across the nation http://www.leahy.senate.gov/press/comment-of-senator-patrick-leahy-on-supreme-court-decision-to-consider-challenge-to-the-defense-of-marriage-act- …

Glad that #SCOTUS will take up #DOMA case. All married couples in #VT & other states are entitled to the same legal protections.

Holiday shopping season is here—if the House fails to extend #smallbiz tax cuts, #smallbiz owners, consumers&our economy will suffer #My2K

des 6 Sen. Patrick Leahy ‏@SenatorLeahy

Instead of passing Senate’s mid-class tax cut bill, House GOP's holding #VT families captive to get LOWER tax rates for the wealthy. #My2K

des 6 Sen. Patrick Leahy ‏@SenatorLeahy

Senate passed mid-class tax cuts in July; House GOP should end the uncertainty & pass it TODAY; important to all in #VT #My2K

Until now House leaders have ‘just said no’ to getting #VAWA done. Appreciate new proposal by @DarrellIssa & @tomcoleok04 to break impasse.
