I think that is very critical. I appreciate your efforts on that, and my office is more than willing to--if you hear of examples and cases that perhaps the VA has not acted on quickly enough, let us know.

Thank you, Congresswoman. It is a pleasure and honor to join you tonight. I will keep my comments short. You have heard the words here tonight. You have heard the words ``religion tax.'' You have heard the words ``religious litmus test.''…

The bill simply requires that upon receiving a contract with the VA the VA must obtain a certification that the business concerns will comply with the requirements already written into the law.

I am worried about small business men and women actually trying to make their payroll.

I appreciate the opportunity to visit with you this evening. I know many of my colleagues would like to visit about a very, very important topic; and that is the topic of marriage. We are currently in the midst of National Marriage Week…

I thank the Congressman. I appreciate your compelling personal story. It is a story shared by millions of other Americans. It is something of the heart. We mentioned as well, it is not just of the heart and the home; it is for our…

I thank the gentleman. You do indicate one study, but clearly what we do have are decades and decades of research, and obviously personal experience as well, on how important marriage is to reducing poverty, reducing crime. The number one…

Thank you, Congressman Weber. I have one follow-up question to try to determine in your mind exactly where do you think our Attorney General and the administration believes they have the authority to determine exactly what a marriage is…

I thank you, Congressman. The gentleman from California raises some incredibly important points; number one, the personal aspect of marriage; also, the social aspect of marriage, particularly for our children. I appreciate the efforts of…

Congresswoman Bachmann, I appreciate your leadership both personally and here in Congress. So thank you for your time this evening. Next, I would like to yield to a colleague, a freshman from California. I might remind the body that five…

As you know, there are many parts of the country where we are short of foster parents, foster families. If there is one thing you can say to a couple considering that, what would your advice be?

Congresswoman Bachmann, I appreciate your leadership on so many issues. One of the inspiring parts of your life, to me, is you and your husband's efforts as foster parents. You have stories to share about the many children. Acting as a…

Thank you for your leadership. I appreciate your efforts on the State Marriage Defense Act. I am a cosponsor of that, and I encourage my colleagues to take a close look at that. It is not just the issue of marriage; it is the issue of who…

Tonight, President Obama will give another speech on the state of the American Union, and here are a few facts you likely won't hear him report to the American people. After 1,834 days as President, here are the results: 6.5 million more…

Do you not think that is censorship?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I certainly appreciate your leadership. Long before I came here to this body, I have always considered you my personal hero. So I thank you for that continued leadership. Next week, we will see the 41st March for…

I had a business in Solana, Kansas. They were noted in the local paper, on July 1st they made their changes. What a mistake. On July 2nd, the president said, 'Just kidding.'

I appreciate that perspective, but what we have seen with the Affordable Care Act, that is not necessary to make the changes from this administration.

This is actually what upsets my constituents. They understand the desire for safety, but they want it to be based on science.

Congresswoman Hartzler, I appreciate your leadership on this topic. It is so essential, not just to our brave men and women serving in the military, but also to our foundation as a Nation. I would like to identify two stories that occurred…

I appreciate the efforts of my colleague from Indiana bringing this before the House for discussion. The reality is, the staggering fact is that since the President's reelection through to the next debt limit vote, Washington will have…

I think we all agree here that our veterans should not be used as pawns in this particular debate.

Is it really the policy of this administration to make church services illegal? to threaten Catholic priests with jail if they celebrate mass this weekend? Unfortunately, this policy seems to be another tragic reflection of the complete…

I thank my colleague from the East and also my colleague from the South for their comments. I'd like to follow up first on Congressman Bridenstine's laying out the record of what has occurred. Here you see a list of the votes the House has…

At 12:01 a.m. this past Tuesday morning, I attempted to sign up for ObamaCare. It's now been 60 hours, and I have still not been able to successfully navigate the online marketplace. Error message after error message, failed security…
