Congresswoman Kaptur today offered an amendment that would restore $10 million in funding for alternative energy programs in the Energy and Water appropriations measure.

U.S. Representative Marcy Kaptur (OH-9) voiced strong disagreement as the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement (FTA) takes effect today.
“The implementation of the free trade agreement with Colombia is further proof that the promised labor right protections in NAFTA style deals are meaningless,” Rep. Kaptur stated. “For decades, we have been told that these types of deals improve working conditions in partner countries. This simply is not true.”
In an interview on National Public Radio, Congresswoman Kaptur said the the budget debate this week on Capitol Hill is "nothing more than the latest political talking points for the Republican Party."
Amember of the Budget Committee, Congresswoman Kaptur said the debate is fictional because the Democratically-controlled Senate will not adopt the Republican proposal and President Obama has promised to veto it.
