If I could add to what the Senator said, if you don't like your plan and if you want something different, we will tell you what you have to like and what you don't have to like. It is no longer your choice. We will tell you what we think…

there is an old expression used by many Hoosiers and others across America that is time tested: Your word is your bond. In Indiana, as in so many other places across our country, we value honesty and good old-fashioned truth-telling, even…
I come to the floor today to discuss the topic of religious freedom. This issue is an important component in the debate on the legislation that we are currently considering, but it's also an issue that defines, I believe, who we are as a…
I will, and I apologize for not recognizing my colleague, who is standing in the back row. My eyesight is not as good as it used to be.
I ask unanimous consent to speak as if in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ObamaCare
