Contained in that measure, for which I voted YES, were the following provisions: 1. A one-year extension for the payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance. 2. A two-year extension of the 'Doc Fix' for Medicare and TRICARE patients. 3. A series of reforms and savings, which paid fully for the above programs, and which did not raise taxes, increase the budget deficit or the federal debt, or raid Social Security payments. 4. A freeze on federal and Congressional pay through 2013. 5. Unemployment reforms, which insured that millionaires, prisoners, and illegal immigrants did not receive unemployment benefits. "After a 96-hour review, the Senate essentially said NO to the above policy positions, and amended H.R. 3630 to be a 60-day bill. That decision sets all Nevadans up for a repeat performance in February of 2012. The decision further raises the fees on all those obtaining FHA mortgages in Nevada, one of the hardest hit housing markets in our nation. Those consulting the Congressional calendars for January will see that neither chamber is set to be in Washington much at all that month, instead spending extended time in respective districts. "I realize that I've been in Congress for less than 100 days, but it's truly illuminating to see that this has become the story of 'no' and 'the Tea Party' and 'the House killing the Senate bill.' I guess in Washington, D.C., where politics trump policy, Saturday the 17th comes before Tuesday the 13th. The House bill a…	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T21:13:05Z

I have yet to hear of a reason for 60 days instead of 12 months. Conclusions for political sport are all that I see so far. "I reject the all too familiar political blame game that too many are accustomed to starting at the first opportunity. I sincerely believe that as a part of this process Nevadans deserve to know what the future holds for them on the issues of taxes, unemployment and medical care for longer than the next 60 days. I also believe that Nevadans favor eliminating unemployment benefits to millionaires and prisoners, and implementing means testing for food stamps. The dismissive rhetoric coming out of the Senate seems to ignore the fact that 234 representatives in the House supported the year-long extension. "I am still searching for the policy bedrock on which the 60-day timeframe is based. This is not a case of less is better. But don't take my word for it. According to the non-partisan National Payroll Reporting Consortium, the two-month plan may not even be logistically feasible and 'could create substantial problems, confusion and costs affecting a significant percentage of U.S. employers and employees.' "If there's one thing that Nevadans do not need more of, it's the 'problems, confusion and costs' created by the 60-day plan. That is why I am more than willing to work for the next two weeks to provide some longer-term certainty so that Nevadans can plan their lives accordingly for the coming year." # #…	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T21:13:05Z

While there is much that I can find to support in this bill, including disaster relief that is offset so as not to add to the deficit, I am disappointed that it does not do more to reduce overall spending. "Every hour, the federal government spends $148 million it doesn't have. I voted against this bill because it only reduces spending from the previous year by less than $8 billion or roughly two days worth of government spending. In fact, the bill passed today actually spends $24 billion more than the budget the House passed earlier this year. "As a Member of Congress, the loudest message I can send is through my votes on government spending. With the economy continuing to struggle and Americans look for signs that their government can do something about our $15 trillion debt and avoid another credit downgrade, I could not in good faith vote yes. "The answer to every problem is not more federal spending, especially when that means burying future generations under a mountain of debt. And unfortunately, a relatively small spending reduction when we're $15 trillion in the red does not, in my opinion, go far enough in the right direction." # # # 2012-01-06 10:40:00 2012-01-13 11:32:00 2011-12-16 07:39:00 False False	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T21:13:05Z

"This bill represents a commitment to our service men and women and their families, all of whom sacrifice dearly on our behalf," said Amodei. "As we come to terms with the reality of the fiscal crisis, may we never lose sight of their needs, both in the field and at home." Funding for the FY 12 NDAA was decreased $21.8 billion from the original House-passed version to comply with the Budget Control Act’s requirement to cut defense spending by an estimated $465 billion over 10 years, beginning in 2013. Specific provisions for NV-2 include: $11,375,000 for the construction of an Army Reserve readiness center at the Fire Science Academy site in Carlin. The following Nellis Air Force Base projects: $35,850,000 for construction and land acquisition. $21,500,000 for an F-35a age facility. $11,600,000 for a communications network control center. $2,750,000 for an F-35 add/alter engine shop. $97,559,000 for operation of the Nevada Test Site in Nye County. The NDAA also strengthens policies and procedures to prosecute, interrogate and detain terrorists. It does not extend any new authority to detain U.S. Citizens or infringe upon Constitutional rights, as previously feared, which enabled Amodei to fully support the bill. The House Armed Services Committee has plans to modify the detention language to further emphasize the Constitutional rights of American citizens. The existing language was from last year's defense appropriations bill and a modification was deferred so as to not delay needed funding to the troops.

According to estimates, IP theft costs the U.S. economy more than $100 billion annually and results in the loss of thousands of American jobs. The Stop Online Piracy Act specifically targets foreign websites primarily dedicated to illegal activity or foreign websites that market themselves as such. The bill ensures that profits from America’s innovations go to American innovators. The Stop Online Piracy Act has 31 bipartisan cosponsors. Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas): “There is a vast virtual market online run by criminals who steal products and profits that rightly belong to American innovators. These foreign rogue websites not only steal movies and music, they offer counterfeit medicine, automobile parts and even baby food, which harm American industries and put American lives at risk. “Because the U.S. produces the most intellectual property, our nation has the most to lose if we fail to address the problem of rogue sites. The Stop Online Piracy Act stops foreign rogue websites from taking jobs and profits away from America’s innovators. The bill’s broad bipartisan support shows Congress’s commitment to combating rogue sites and ensuring that profits go to American innovators, not criminals who steal our products and damage our economy.” Ranking Member John Conyers (D-Mich.): “Today’s markup is a victory for American artists and jobs. Online property crime robs American artists and harms American consumers, and the Stop Online Piracy Act provides important tools to safeguard our jobs and property.” IP Subcommittee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.): “Intellectual property is one of America’s chief job creators and competitive advantages in the global market…	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T21:13:05Z

Amodei	A000369	amodei.house.gov	amodei	https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases	scraper	IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Brian Baluta (202) 225-6155 December 13, 2011 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) announced today that he will vote in favor of H.R. 3630, the Middle Class Tax Relief & Job Creation Act of 2011, which would provide a fully offset extension of the current payroll tax holiday, an extension of emergency federal unemployment benefits, as well job creation incentives, among other provisions. The legislation would provide assistance to Americans suffering in the recession, while ensuring that these policies will not add to the ballooning federal deficit. "It's important to me that the extension of these benefits, on which many Americans currently depend, does not worsen one of the principle threats to our economy and our nation's future -- that being the $15 trillion federal debt," said Amodei. "This legislation also recognizes that unemployment services should focus on helping Americans actually get back to work rather than subsidizing benefits for an unprecedented, unending period of time." The cost of the bill is offset by freezing pay for members of Congress and federal workers, reforming unemployment insurance, reducing subsidies, and getting rid of waste, fraud and abuse in some Washington programs. In addition, the bill would provide new incentives for job creation by removing burdensome Environmental Protection Agency regulations and taking action on the bipartisan Keystone XL energy project, which would immediately create 20,000 jobs, with the potential for 100,000 to 200,000 additional jobs. In the case of the payroll tax holiday, the measure would, for the first time, protect the Social Security Trust Fund from being harmed by cutting government spending and directing those savings to replenish the trust fund. # # #	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T21:13:05Z

Res. 2 -- Proposing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution of the United States: "Washington, D.C. has a fatal spending problem, which is every American's problem because it's dragging down our economy and our way of life. Unless we get spending under control now, the country we give our grandchildren will be in far worse shape than the one we inherited. "This is a town where a spending increase can be called a spending cut, because it wasn't as big as desired. This is a town that's proven time and again that it can't help itself -- it's addicted to spending. The Balanced Budget Amendment says to Congress and the President, 'Enough is enough. Mortgaging the future of our grandchildren is not an option.' "Unfortunately, like any addict, there are people in Washington that don't want to quit spending. Instead, they want more taxes, more of your money, and more of your company's money to spend. They'll tell you that they only want to tax the rich and corporations, but when taxes are raised, we all pay more in the form of fewer jobs, lower wages and higher prices for goods and services. "So strong is their addiction to spending, they'll also resort to claiming that a balanced budget will end Medicare and Social Security, which is a lie. The truth is that if Washington keeps spending like it does, debt and liabilities will consume the federal budget. A sure fire way to end Medicare and Social Security is to maintain the status quo, ignore the problem, and keep spending like there's no tomorrow." "We need to break the addiction. Federal government spending is not the answer to every problem. And I firmly believe that Nevadans want less federal spending, not more." Background: If approved by a two-thirds majority of each chamber of Congress and ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures, H.J. Res. 2 would amend the Consti…	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T21:12:58Z

This legislation would require states that permit carrying concealed firearms to recognize such permits from other states. Amodei had previously voted in support of this legislation as a member of the House Judiciary Committee, where all anti-gun amendments offered to weaken the legislation were defeated. Data presented in the committee markup conclusively showed that individuals who go through the process of getting permits are not committing crimes. "Americans are citizens, not subjects," said Amodei. "All Americans have the Constitutional right to defend themselves, their families and their property. This legislation would enable millions of law-abiding permit holders to exercise their right to self-defense when traveling outside their home states." Presently, 49 states have laws to permit citizens to carry concealed firearms. Only Illinois completely denies residents the right to carry a concealed firearm outside their homes or businesses for self-defense. # # #	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T21:12:58Z

Amodei	A000369	amodei.house.gov	amodei	https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases	scraper	FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Brian Baluta (202) 225-6155 November 4, 2011 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In response to today's jobs numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) said that it's time for the President Obama to recognize that his promised economic recovery has not materialized and that his administration's economic policies do not work. "The first step toward recovery is admitting that you have a problem," said Amodei. "This administration needs to admit that its policies of record spending, uncontrolled debt, excessive regulations, and the threat of higher taxes are not the solution. They are the problem." From February 2009, when the President's “stimulus” was signed into law, through October 2011, the economy has shed 2,047,000 jobs -- an average of 62,030 jobs lost each month. The administration claimed national unemployment would be 6.5 percent today if the stimulus was enacted. According to the latest BLS figures, it is 9 percent. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the cost of that failed program will reach $825 billion and interest on the debt will be at least $347 billion. As of September 2011, unemployment in Nevada is 13.4% -- the highest in the nation. The October numbers by state will be released November 22, 2011. "Our country now ranks 13th in the world for 'ease of starting a business' according to a World Bank report," said Amodei. "In 2007, we ranked third. Stymieing entrepreneurship is not going to get people back to work." This year, the Republican majority in the House has passed numerous pieces of legislation to liberate job creators from the destructive polices of the administration. Twenty-two of those bills, which would foster economic growth and job creation, are stuck in the Democrat-controlled Senate. While the Senate stalls, there are: • 1,293,000 job seekers who are new to the workforce and have yet to find a job. The number of new workers who cannot find a job has been above one million for two years. • 5,876,000 America…	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T21:12:58Z

Amodei	A000369	amodei.house.gov	amodei	https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases	scraper	FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Brian Baluta (202) 225-6155 October 31, 2011 RENO – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) today praised an agreement between Reno-based Western Lithium and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory as a major step toward the commercialization of lithium carbonate from the company’s Kings Valley lithium project in Humboldt County. Western Lithium estimates that the mine will employ 150 full-time workers. “This partnership is an important step in leveraging our region’s mineral wealth to create jobs and economic growth for Reno, Humboldt County, and Nevada,” said Amodei. “We are uniquely positioned to meet the rising global demand for lithium, which is used in everything from mobile devices to hybrid and electric vehicles.” Under the agreement, Argonne will analyze and develop Western Lithium’s products for battery applications. The Kings Valley lithium deposit is potentially one of the world’s largest sources of high quality lithium carbonate. “We believe that the industry will continue to require improved product specifications for current and future lithium-ion battery applications,” said Western Lithium President Jay Chmelauskas. “Our work with Argonne is intended to develop lithium specifications suitable to engage potential customers for lithium carbonate off take agreements and ultimately to advance the Kings Valley project into production.” Argonne is a leader in advanced battery and energy storage research and development. In the last three years, the research laboratory has executed several licensing deals for a lithium-ion battery technology with General Motors, BASF, Envia, LG Chem and Toda America.

"When the President and his party controlled Washington, they could have done anything that they wanted to encourage economic growth and address the mortgage crisis. Instead they drove up record debt, squandered taxpayer dollars on bailouts for politically-connected companies, and froze job-creation with harmful regulations like Obama-care and Dodd-Frank. "Now, with bipartisan opposition to the President's economic plan, he wants to bypass Congress in order to advance more misguided policy. Such a move ignores the basic message that was sent with my election in September and the turnover of the House last November: Nevadans and the American people don't want more of a political agenda. They want results on the ground." # # # 2012-01-04 13:43:00 2012-01-13 11:42:00 2011-10-24 10:45:00 False False	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T21:12:51Z

When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.' The American people are very skeptical of their government and rightly so. IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Brian Baluta (202) 225-6155 February 9, 2011 WASHINGTON, D.C. --Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) today voted in favor of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, which passed the House 417 to 2. The bill would affirm that members of Congress and employees are not exempt from the insider trading prohibitions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Congressman Amodei: "According to Thomas Jefferson, 'When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.' The American people are very skeptical of their government and rightly so. "I think it's vital that the federal government takes steps to be more transparent and accountable to the American people. We are not above the law, everyone must play by the same rules, and that is our moral and Constitutional obligation to uphold." The legislation would require disclosure and reporting requirements for members of Congress and employees of the House for investment transactions of more than $1,000. It would deny government pensions to those convicted of a felony, adds a new requirement for members to report mortgages on personal residences on their annual disclosures, and prevents members and senior staff from getting special treatment to participate in initial public offerings (IPOs). # # # 2012-02-09 07:56:00 2012-02-09 07:56:00 2012-02-09 07:54:00 False False	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T21:12:15Z

My concern is that we've had plenty of opportunity for political pontification on both sides. IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Brian Baluta (202) 225-6155 January 23, 2011 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) today released the following statement regarding the President's State Of The Union (SOTU) address, which is scheduled for Tuesday, January 24 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern (6:00 p.m. Pacific): "The President's oratory skills are well-known. And I expect that this State of the Union will be no different. My concern is that we've had plenty of opportunity for political pontification on both sides. "While such opportunities are part and parcel of our system of government, the crisis in Washington these days is that it produces more rhetoric than it does policy. "It's my belief that Nevadans and Americans have seen through the posturing and are demanding meaningful production from their elected officials aimed at fueling private-sector recovery, job-creation, budget-discipline and debt-reduction. "This requires thoughtfulness, dialogue, action and compromise. It discourages me to see a pattern of disrespect for the federal legislative process occasioned by those who would simply not respond to ideas with which they disagree. "No budget from Senate leadership in 1,000 days, the refusal to debate the 28 House-passed jobs bills, and the failure to appoint conference committees to allow discussion has resulted in an unprecedented level of political gridlock, which ignores the needs of Nevada and the nation. "Ben Franklin once said, 'Well done is better than well said.' To put it another way, 'Show me. Don't tell me.' "We've heard plenty. What we need is leadership on all fronts, which so far has been in short supply at the worst possible time." # # # 2012-01-23 15:30:00 2012-01-25 12:32:00 2012-01-23 15:29:00 False False	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T21:12:09Z
