I applaud you in trying to do that.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the Voting Rights Advancement Act, H.R. 2867, introduced by my friends and colleagues Representatives Terri Sewell, Linda Sanchez, and Judy Chu. It is long past time that we take up their bipartisan bill…

The $1.4 billion in cash was consistent with it too, but it doesn't make it right.

A robust economy is needed for all. Unfortunately, this Administration has not provided that.

I am urging you to oppose that. Even former executive director of the fund who voted for the first bailout has come out against a third one.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Starbucks and their new program called the Upstanders series for recognizing Baldwin Community Schools and the Baldwin Promise. The Upstanders series was created by Starbucks to showcase uplifting…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 5064, the Improving Small Business Cyber Security Act of 2016. I thank the gentleman from New York (Mr. Hanna) for leading the charge on this very important piece of legislation. I also thank…

Mr. Speaker, currently, in the House Judiciary Committee, there is an unusual spectacle unfolding. Now, a number of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have made it a crusade to war against the IRS. They have cut staff, budgets…

I have serious concerns about the real-world impact that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's standards... will have on vehicles on our economy.

I am deeply concerned that the planned fuel economy standards for future model years will significantly stall that progress and dramatically reduce consumer choice.

I have introduced H.R. 4504, the Energy Efficiency Free Market Act, to repeal the Department of Energy's authority to mandate efficiency standards for all consumer products.

we ignore the consumer at our own peril both as a legislative body, sort of the regulators that were on the panel before, and you of course as the manufacturers and people who are supplying consumers what they want to buy.

We need to think carefully before providing further needless flexibility that allows for even lower fuel efficiency than an automaker would otherwise need to achieve.

What I don't want to see is Government regulations and overly prescriptive mandates taking away consumer choice and putting a real hurt on the family budget.

I feel equally as strongly that Government should not be in the business of telling consumers what they can and cannot purchase.

At a time of persistent economic uncertainty facing hardworking American families, we have a responsibility to ensure that this does not happen.

What I don't want to see is the Government regulations and overly prescriptive mandates taking away consumer choice and putting the big hurt on the family budget.

The Government should not be in the business of telling consumers what they can use and what they cannot purchase.
