Kelly: \u201cThe Senate now is entertaining this because of one job \u2026 one Senator who has the possibility of losing her seat\u201d \nWATCH HERE\nWASHINGTON \u2014 U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA) \u2013 a member of the House Ways and Means Committee \u2013 delivered a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives yesterday in support of H.R. 5682, a bill to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline, which was introduced by Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) on November 12, 2014. The House is expected to pass the bill today.\nHighlights from Rep. Kelly\u2019s speech:\n\u201cThis is a jobs bill. It\u2019s a jobs bill, not only in the House of Representatives, but it is a job bill in the Senate.\u201d\n\u201cIn the House of Representatives, Dr. Cassidy\u2019s bill is about creating tens of thousands of jobs for hardworking Americans. It\u2019s about an eight billion dollar private investment that will not cost the American taxpayer one cent. It\u2019s about energy independence. It is about America taking the lead in energy.\u201d\n\u201cFor six years this House has passed pieces of legislation that would\u2019ve created the Keystone Pipeline. Every one of those pieces of legislation died in the Senate. Now, miraculously \u2026 the Senate now is entertaining this because of one job. The tens of thousands of jobs of all these Americans who you turned a deaf ear and a blind eye to are now being answered by the Senate, because of one job, one Senate, one Senator who has the possibility of losing her seat because of the Keystone Pipeline not being able to go through the Senate.\u201d\n\u201cIt is truly a jobs bill. It is an American bill. It is a bill that is going to create billions of dollars in revenue. And I would just ask my friends on the other side, please look no further than last Tuesday. Last Tuesday\u2019s vote was a referendum on incompetency, not on incumbency. I would like you to please open your eyes to the American people and let them rise. Let us create jobs, let us reach the energy independence that we need to succeed in the global economy.\u201d\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://kelly.house.gov/press-release/rep-kelly-calls-keystone-pipeline-construction-scolds-opposition-house-floor"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.3526111617684364, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
