Mike Pence

I rise in support of the Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act. I believe this legislation is urgent, and it represents measurable and meaningful progress in the United States effort to economically and diplomatically isolate…

Well, it's becoming more obvious every day to the American people that this administration was slow to responded in the gulf, and the Democrats still don't have a plan. They don't have a clear plan to contain the sea of oil in the gulf…

Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you all. Those of you that don't watch C-SPAN incessantly may not know I serve as the House Republican Conference Chairman now, and I am just honored to be here with our former leader, a man deeply admired…

The oil spill in the gulf is a widening tragedy of epic proportions. BP must be held accountable for every dime of cost that will affect the families and the environment and the communities of our gulf region. And this administration must…

We all agree the loss of life that occurred last week when a flotilla designed to challenge Israel's effective blockade of Gaza ended in military confrontation, but Israel has a right to defend itself. The history is clear in that region…

As a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I have been a strong supporter of the U.S.-Turkish alliance. I've been to Ankar, Turkey. I have met with officials there. I knew the President before he was President of Turkey. So you…

I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his outstanding leadership. This is a challenging time in the life of this country. Families are hurting, businesses in the city and on the farm are struggling. It's the worst recession in the…

I urge my colleagues to oppose the Murphy amendment. Let me say again: The American people don't want the American military used as a vehicle to advance a liberal political agenda, especially when the men and women who serve in our…

I rise in opposition to the Murphy amendment. Let me say I do so because I believe the American people don't want to see the American military used to advance a liberal political agenda, especially when the men and women who serve in the…

Did not the author of this amendment say that it is not whether we will repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell but how and when, from recent press reports?

After years of being shut out of the debates here on Capitol Hill, seeing runaway Federal spending, bailouts, and takeovers built behind closed doors, the American people finally have a way in-- an unambiguous seat at the table. It's…

Back in my beloved Indiana and all across this country, families are hurting. This is a difficult time in the life of our economy. Families are sitting down and making hard choices. They are writing a family budget. Small businesses and…

Our country is weary of borrowing and spending and bailouts from Washington, D.C. So the American people deserve to know we're bailing out Greece, and future Americans may be picking up the tab for as much as $50 billion in additional loan…

Today is the 59th celebration of the National Day of Prayer. Like most Americans, I believe that the effective and fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much, and what is true of individuals is also true of nations. The truth is that…

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is an ongoing tragedy, and the American people deserve action to protect our gulf, and they deserve answers. The American people deserve to know what happened on April 20, and Congress should investigate…

I rise in support of the Puerto Rico Democracy Act, which simply grants the people of Puerto Rico a say in their future. The American flag has flown over Puerto Rico for more than a century. It has been a U.S. territory since 1898. The…

Well, after months of debate and assurances that their government takeover of health care would actually result in lowering the cost of health care for Americans, the truth landed with a thud last Thursday. A new report from the Obama…

I rise in opposition to the rule, to follow ordinary protocol, but it's impossible to come to the floor today and not talk about what hundreds of millions of Americans are thinking about today, some of whom will be driving late to the post…

You know, Groucho Marx said years ago, Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes? I just have to wonder, Mr. Speaker, about the American people looking in this morning to hear Democrats talking about having cut taxes more than any…

Well, here we go again. Last Sunday, defying the will of a majority of the American people, House Democrats rammed their health care bill through the Congress chock full of Big Government spending mandates and backroom deals. Now we're…

The American people don't want a government takeover of health care. The policy, the backroom deals, and the arrogance have angered millions. But that is no excuse for bigotry, threats, or acts of vandalism, and I condemn such things in…

This is truly a remarkable moment in the life of this Nation. Some say we're making history. I say we're breaking history. We're breaking with our finest traditions--limited government, personal responsibility and the consent of the…

This is a remarkable moment in the life of our Nation. After years of runaway Federal spending, deficits, debt, borrowing, bailouts, and takeover, against the opposition of a clear majority of the American people, the Democrats in Congress…

The Democrat health care bill that is being brought through the Congress this week is nothing more than a government takeover of health care, and the American people know it. I know the administration doesn't like us to use that phrase…

The American people don't want a government takeover of health care. I heard it at town hall meetings, across eastern Indiana this weekend, and at a rally at the Statehouse in Indianapolis yesterday where over a thousand gathered on short…
