I don't want to belabor this, but I think it is important for the American people to understand and appreciate, and I think it is important for my good friend from Georgia to appreciate, that this rule that has been adopted is…

I want to stipulate at the beginning of this statement that I support enfranchisement, strongly support enfranchisement for the citizens of the District of Columbia. However, the oath that I take on the first day of our session stipulates…

I strongly support retrocession to the State of Maryland, because I believe strongly in the enfranchisement of the citizens of the District of Columbia.

my oath tells me that I am not to support anything that I believe to support anything to be unconstitutional. I believe this bill to be unconstitutional. I also believe that others may have a different perspective, and I appreciate that…

Orwellian democracy is alive and well here in Washington. Our friends on the other side seem to think that if they just say something, it is true. Talk about the budget. We have heard this morning that they are going to balance the budget…

This chart is an important one because this shows the mandatory spending growth, something I like to coin actually ``automatic spending growth'' because it is not mandatory. The Federal Government has determined that that is where we are…

Today, Americans will reach deep into their pockets and pay Uncle Sam. Today, they will finish slogging through the maze of Tax Code jargon, crunching numbers and filling out forms. Today, they will once again trust Washington with their…

This chart really points that out, ``Ignoring Entitlement Reform,'' which is exactly what occurred 2 rac{1}{2} weeks ago when our friends passed our budget. When the Republicans were in charge, with the Balanced Budget Act we passed in…

It really befuddles me as to how our friends on the other side of the aisle can say that they need to raise taxes to raise revenue, because if you look at this chart, Madam Speaker, what you appreciate is that as revenues were going down…

I rise today to warn all Americans of the looming taxation tidal wave that is coming under this new Democrat majority. Democrats have unveiled their tax-and-spend budget proposal which will bring upon the American people the largest tax…

many of us in this Chamber find it absolutely incomprehensible that there are those who believe that the best course of action in the face of a determined enemy is to tell that enemy that we are less than determined. Yet that is exactly…

Mr. Chairman, it is indeed a remarkable privilege for each and every one of us to serve in this House of Representatives. This is the greatest deliberative body in the world, and it is the greatest deliberative body in the world because we…

I rise to oppose this rule for two specific reasons. One is because it is not an open rule. It is not an open rule. It is a violation of the assurances that we have been provided by the majority party. It is not an open rule. Having a…

I thank the Speaker so much for the opportunity to come and address the House once again. Once again I want to thank the Republican leadership for the opportunity to bring another edition of the Official Truth Squad. The Official Truth…

What they will really be introducing is an unprecedented tax hike on the American people. Under the economic policies of the last 6 years, the American people have led this economy to over 40 straight months of economic growth, over 7…

there is a common misconception in Washington that simply talking about a problem is as good as solving it. However, we know that actions speak louder than words. In 34 of the last 38 years, the Federal Government hasn't balanced its own…

I appreciate so much your comments and your perspective on this because you bring light to some important information. One is visiting the men and women at Walter Reed, and how moving is that experience every time we take part in that, and…

And that is that the responsibility for controlling our military, waging war, rests with the Commander in Chief, with the executive branch. And as you know, our good friend Congressman Blunt from Missouri, our minority whip, Republican…

There is no isolated military solution. But that doesn't mean that the military doesn't have a role because it is a three-pronged strategy, which is military, economic, and political.

I understand this is an authorizing piece of legislation; it is not requiring the money to be spent; and that we have the Appropriations Committees to do that. But I would suggest to my colleagues that this is a matter of principle. It is…

I rise to point a couple points of clarification. And I appreciate the gentlewoman from Texas and her comments, but she did say that this amendment would require finding $120 million of offsets somewhere else, regardless of whether there…

as you know, this bill, the Water Quality Investment Act of 2007, would reauthorize an expired Federal program that provides grants to States for the purpose of providing money to a municipality or municipalities for planning, designing…

This really is a simple motion to recommit. What it says is that the money that is authorized and appropriated should go for its intended purposes. It would expand upon existing law by specifically prohibiting Federal funds from being used…

Right now, brave Americans are going door to door in some of the most dangerous parts of Iraq. They are working with the Iraqi people to bring stability to Iraq, and they are doing this because it is their duty and because they understand…

here we are back to Orwellian democracy. We are here considering the Employee Free Choice Act, which better is described as the ``Employee Intimidation Act,'' and we are here because it is the number one legislative priority of organized…
