Bill Foster, U.S. Congressman for the 11th Congressional District of Illinois: For those of you who might not know me, I’m Congressman Bill Foster. I’m best known for being the last PhD scientist in the United States Congress, but I am also a businessman. When I was a 19-year-old kid, my little brother and I started a company in our basement, and that company now provides more than 1,000 good manufacturing jobs and we’ve kept all those jobs in the Midwest, which is something I am very proud of. Our company also… we don’t achieve the 99 percent, but we recycle as much as we can, which turns out to be very good business, and so I congratulate you on that because it is going to make your business more sustainable economically as well as environmentally.
