I want to thank you and your staff for assisting me in getting the medals I earned. I was in urgent need of a corneal transplant in the United States. Because of the Congressman's timely intervention, I am now in the U.S. and am well on my way to recovery. Without your help, we would still be waiting. To reduce access to toy guns, a series of toy gun exchanges are being held throughout the 10th Congressional District.

Congressman Towns, student and Principal Smith at P.S. 5 toy gun exchange. We must begin to work to ensure that people in urban and rural communities are not left so far behind in the technological revolution that they will never be able to catch up. As New Yorkers, and as Brooklynites, we must lead in initiating environmentally friendly, cost efficient ways of obtaining energy independence. Hundreds of healthy new-borns in New York's 10th District, and thousands across the nation, I can thank Congressman Towns for giving them the chance for a normal life. The large number of votes cast for this initiative demonstrates the widespread support it enjoys.
