Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak to my constituents and report on promises I made to them. I promised to introduce legislation to prevent Members of Congress from being paid until a balanced budget is passed. I promised to rein in bureaucratic rulemaking and restore Article I authority to Congress. I promised to end the ObamaCare loophole that is designed to benefit Members of Congress. I promised to pass Grant's Law to protect innocent U.S. citizens from violent illegal immigrants. I promised to ensure that Common Core never becomes a Federal mandate, and that States and local officials have authority over the teaching of our Nation's youth. I promised to remove Arizona from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and place it into a newly established 12th circuit that can provide more equal access to justice. I am pleased to inform and report to my constituents that I have cosponsored legislation to address all six of my promises. I am working every day to pass these bills through the United States Congress. My constituents expect me to keep every promise I made. I intend to do that just as long as I am in this body. ____________________
