I believe there is nothing more important than strengthening families in America today. As Representatives in Congress, we should ever be mindful of the role we play in supporting America's families. It is because of this belief that I intend to do everything in my power, the power given to me by the people of the Fourth District of Alabama, to take a stand on the issues that are affecting our Nation's families. Two of the greatest gifts I believe that we can give our children are a balanced budget and lower taxes. We need to cut spending and reduce the tax burden to make sure that we have strong economic growth so that our children and our children's children can enjoy the same benefits that we have been given. It is time for the Federal Government to take responsibility for its decisions and their effect on the American people. Federal spending should be reined in and controlled. Reducing the growth of Federal spending is the way to get a balanced budget, not by taking more money from hardworking people who are already struggling to make ends meet. By balancing the budget, a middle-class family easily saves $1,500 per year.
