Mike Pence

I rise today to remember a man who changed his world, and ours, forever, a man whom historians have called ``the George Washington of humanity.'' Mr. Speaker, yesterday marked the 168th anniversary of the death of William Wilberforce, a…

waiting on the horizon of this legislative week is the debate over the Patients' Bill of Rights. There has been much heat about this subject but very little light. As Dr. Daniel Johnson memorably wrote in the July issue of the Wall Street…

as the debate over using Federal funds to support embryonic stem cell research goes forwards, I would urge my colleagues in this Chamber to consider the clear words of Pope John Paul II spoken to our President today, who said in Rome…

I rise today on behalf of Hoosier farmers, dedicated men and women who wake at sunrise and leave their sweat in the fields by sunset. In the year 2000 alone, American farmers benefited from U.S. agricultural exports to China totaling $1.9…

I come to the well this morning in strong support of the Community Solutions Act that we will consider shortly today. As our President said just last week, we in Washington cannot make Americans love their neighbors, but we can make…

Mr. Speaker, after surviving the bloodiest battlefield since Gettysburg, a brave platoon of Marines trudged up Mount Suribachi on Sulfur Island with a simple task, to raise the flag above the devastation below. When the flag was raised by…

adult stem cell research is pro-life, but destroying nascent human beings for research is not pro-life. It is said that facts are stubborn things. Fact No. 1 in this debate, Mr. Speaker, is that Congress outlawed Federal funding of…

I rise today as a strong advocate of the rule of law and the right to life. That is why I urge the administration to faithfully execute the 1996 law adopted by this Congress prohibiting the use of taxpayer dollars to finance the harvesting…

I am proud to stand in favor of S. 657 to authorize funding for the National 4-H Program Centennial Initiative. In the year 2002, 4-H will celebrate 100 years of having fun and making a difference for kids in both rural areas and, in…

Mr. Chairman, I come to the well this evening to support the efforts of my good friends, the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Toomey), the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Flake), and the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Tancredo), in their efforts…

I rise today because I am outraged. I am outraged that Americans are paying in some places in Indiana upwards to $2 a gallon for gasoline. Families across this country are being hurt by the fluctuating cost of fueling their cars. Stopping…

I especially appreciate the leadership of the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Thornberry) for bringing this important resolution to honor the service of our National Guard heroes who have served our country so ably in Bosnia. I have a particular…

Today we stand on the brink of an awesome opportunity, the opportunity to lift the burden of taxes off families, small businesses and family farms, the opportunity to pass the largest tax cut package in over 20 years. We have a moral…

I appreciate his efforts and his diligence in defending our men and women in uniform who, but for this amendment, might be subject to arbitrary and capricious actions of rogue nations bent on perverting the International Criminal Court…

Mr. Speaker, each year for the past 38 years the President has issued a proclamation calling for the celebration of National Small Business Week. National Small Business Week, which is sponsored by the SBA, is being held this week. We…

I rise today to call the House's attention to our country's most vital economic sector, our small businesses. Each year, for the past 38 years, the President has issued a proclamation calling for the celebration of National Small Business…

I join many of my colleagues here on the floor today to speak on behalf of American families who face a much less promising future. Our goal today is to call attention to the growing surplus here in Washington and the moral imperative to…
