Martha Roby

We do. I thank the gentleman from Arkansas. I know you ran over here to join us tonight. I thank all of those States and districts that are represented here tonight. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

We look forward to that debate in the next 2 days. We are closing in on the end of our hour, but we have just been joined by the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Griffin). As you know, tonight, we are talking about this #makinglifework for…

Didn't the President, himself, promise that those individuals would receive that care?

One of the things we haven't really spent time on--and the gentlelady from Washington wants to talk about--is health care and things that we are doing to make sure that American families have the access. I think we can all agree that we…

My farmers in Alabama are very, very familiar with all those regulations. We've worked hard through the Committee on Agriculture to do all that we can to remove that heavy hand of the Federal Government. Our farmers just want to farm. Let…

To the gentleman from Indiana, we appreciate the hard work that you're doing on the Ways and Means Committee. All of us here look forward to helping making life work for American families through a simpler, flatter, fairer Tax Code that…

All you have to do is pull out your copy of the Constitution, and what does it say? Our charge as Members of Congress is to provide for a strong national defense. If we're not taking care of those men and women in uniform who have fought…

I want to say to both gentlemen, what we're talking about tonight is kitchen table stuff. Americans all across this country sit down across the table from their loved one and they balance their budgets. Why do we hold the Federal…

The law should not make it more difficult for working people to balance their time so they can see their child hit a home run or attend a parent-teacher conference.

I commend my home state representative, Mrs. Roby, for introducing this commonsense legislation to give employees choice and flexibility.

Does this legislation solve every problem facing working families? No, it does not. But it does offer to make life a little easier for working Americans by helping them better balance the demands of work and family, and I encourage all of…

We, here, cannot legislate another hour in the day, but we can help working people better balance the demands of family and work.

Talk to just about any working mom or dad and they will tell you they need more time.

What can be done beyond this hearing room to encourage the private sector to engage themselves at a higher rate when it comes to STEM education?

I think we need some consumer protections. We need to take a look at why students are one of the very few groups that can't get the protection of bankruptcy.

I know financial aid administrators are concerned about the impact of sequestration on student financial aid programs.

Together, these basic facts emphasize why it is so important that we, the elected leaders of this country, take every reasonable step to accurately inform the public about the policies and procedure of its government.

American taxpayers deserve and expect an accountable government, not a bloated bureaucracy in need of credit counseling.

Medicare will be insolvent by 2024, which means we are rapidly squandering any chance to fix the problem.

I believe I speak for the majority of the people in my district who are, frankly, tired of the misleading statements, scare tactics, and intellectual dishonesty.

I fear that too often our government fails to meet that basic standard.

The NLRA protects professional employees' rights to unionize, but not managerial employees.

Well, and you will see, again, further action from leadership here in the House on that, calling on the President to outline exactly what this is going to look like. And like you said, he hasn't. It's just one more on the list of…

You know, to use the President's words again, because these are direct quotes, so let's look at a couple of things. Last April, President Obama said, ``We have to live within our means, we have to reduce our deficit, and we have to get…

Absolutely. Again, by virtue of a comparison, with the President's proposed tax hike, deficits would still total 6.6 trillion over the next 10 years according to his own budget. But by comparison, our budget, the House Republican budget…
