We're not talking about huge employers like GE and GM and AK Steel. We're talking about very small family-owned businesses that struggle every day to make it.

It has and continues to be about the degree to which we allow the federal government to dictate some of the most personal decisions in our lives.

We must make sure federal policies continue the gain and are not permitted to undermine the growth we've seen here in Pennsylvania and across our nation.

government has stepped in between you and the relationship you have with the people that you work with.

I believe individuals and families and small businesses make those decisions.

I was appalled by that, and whatever that person's motivation is, I apologize for it.

I'm thinking this may put me under. I may not be able to survive this.

We've got to get through this as Americans. This is not a Republican or Democratic or Libertarian or Independent issue.

It's going to come from the private sector.
