Lee: Merger Deserves Careful Review
Jul 20, 2011
The mobile phone market is a critical component of our nation’s economy and the proposed merger between AT&T and T-Mobile deserves careful review.

Lee Demands President to Explain Social Security Threat
Jul 14, 2011

There is no explanation to this that he's offered, and I hereby demand one. I think our current retirees deserve more than to be used as pawns in a high-stakes political game; one that uses fear and uncertainty and doubt rather than reason and discussion and debate and willingness to compromise.
