I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity to visit tonight about a very radical decision. I appreciate the discussion of my colleagues from Texas and Iowa outlining some of the background. I was born in 1968, and…

The essence is marriage is reserved between one man and one woman. It is a very simple definition, a very historical definition, and it was adopted by 417,675. Do you know what was interesting? I never once told the State of Kansas that…

I am pleased to cosponsor this commonsense amendment as we work to stop the Federal Government from enforcing the ill-advised listing of the lesser prairie chicken. As a fifth-generation farmer and possibly the only Member on the floor who…

Don't you think you should have seen this memo that had allegations of $6 billion in improper spending, most of it directly beneath your purview?

I appreciate the work of my colleague from North Carolina. Madam Speaker, 2 years ago today, America was awakened to the horrors of the abortion industry as abortionist Kermit Gosnell was convicted of murdering three innocent, newborn…

I want to tell you about a brave lady named Ellie, whom I met a few years ago in Kansas. This is her story. One Tuesday morning, back in 1973, she opened up her local newspaper to read about a U.S. Supreme Court decision that shocked her…

I appreciate my colleague from Georgia yielding me time to discuss this rule and the underlying issue. I do want to report that it was 229 years ago that the Virginia General Assembly ratified the Virginia statute for religious freedom…

Today I spoke on the steps of the Supreme Court as it heard arguments on whether more than 50 million Americans who voted to affirm marriage as between one man and one woman should have their voices snuffed out by as few as five unelected…

I thank the chairman, and I appreciate my colleague from Ohio bringing forth this important legislation. ``If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on…

I would argue and go back to this issue with Secretary Shinseki and others, I think many times they are let down by those around them.

H.R. 1015 will make tremendous strides at holding accountable the bad actors that attempt to defraud veteran-owned small businesses.

I have members, I have constituents that are afraid to tell me and let me make public about outrageous actions by agencies because they fear the harassment and regulatory retaliation.

this is the most misleading statement I have heard made, probably, in my 4 years on this committee.

I believe they lied to the committee.

This week marks National Marriage Week. This is the time for Americans to recognize, to celebrate, to honor this time-honored institution and the critical importance of a man and a woman committing to each other and to the children of…

Today, February 12, 2015, I was not present for call votes number 77 and 78 due to attendance at the White House bill signing ceremony for the Clay Hunt SAV Act. If I had been in attendance, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote 77…

The answer always should be, Yes, we can, we are going to look at a way.

Here in Washington, D.C., I believe we have too many people working on K Street looking out for Wall Street when we should be, instead, fighting for Main Street. It is our Main Street businesses, our small businesses, that are the heart…

What I hope in the long term is, instead of worrying about necessarily what the studies say and what experts in Washington, D.C., say or some big university, some big hospital, what I am worried about is what my constituents say.

They are tired of driving 200, 300 miles for care that they could get right down the road at their local hospital.

The summary of hearing after hearing on data issues is the data is not valid and not reliable.

But the core of this problem was we were being told things, as Members of Congress, that didn't match up with what was really happening.

I thank the gentlewoman from North Carolina for yielding. Mr. Speaker, over these next 2 days, you will hear many of my colleagues rise in support of H.R. 36, as well they should. This bill protects pain-capable, pre-born children from…

Thank you, Congressman. I know we probably sound like a broken record--and for the marchers coming in tomorrow, that is something that they used before there were CDs. Isn't that great--we have all of these marchers coming in who don't…

Well, if you are still waiting for care, I would say, Mr. Gibson, it is still a disaster for that veteran.
