I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

Seventy thousand pages. It's my understanding it's 3\1/2\ times the size of the Bible perhaps, longer than all of Shakespeare's works, and it's all about to be centralizing power in Washington. We have a grand opportunity, I agree. With…

Thank you, Congressman Reed. It is a very timely topic. I come from western Kansas, and big skies and big dreams, and big visions; and I tell you, we can see an approaching storm brewing sometimes hundreds of miles away. You can see the…

It would probably be my guess that there isn't a colleague of ours that has read this Tax Code. Now, there are probably some special attorneys in this town that claim to have read that whole Tax Code. As you mentioned, how many pages?

It ensures the right of conscience for everyone in the military to express their deeply held religious or moral beliefs regarding homosexual behavior.

The new training documents issued after the repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' require full endorsement of homosexual behavior.

My bill would help restore compliance with both the spirit and the letter of our Defense of Marriage Act.

Today I rise in opposition to the budget offered by my colleague, Mr. Van Hollen. Then-Senator Obama, when campaigning for President, called President Bush unpatriotic for raising our national debt by $4 trillion in 8 years, a figure he…

I appreciate the hard work of my colleague from New Jersey. Today I rise in proud support of the RSC budget that we're discussing here today. This budget offers a clear vision for fiscal responsibility and limited government as well as a…

the President can talk about jobs being the number one priority in his Administration, but quite honestly, sir, that is not true.

Simply put, during the development of the 2012 Farm Bill, crop insurance must be a priority.

Pass a strong farm bill that protects programs like SNAP, TEFAP, and CSFP which help provide food for millions of America's most vulnerable seniors, children, and working poor.

Cuts to our nation's food safety net have on a serious impact on our most vulnerable citizens.

I oppose the inclusion of the livestock title in the next farm bill.

We need a strong farm bill to help put food on the table for vulnerable children, seniors, and low-income families.

We'd just like to have the freedom to market livestock the best way we see fit, and we truly feel like the livestock producers are the best to do that.

We strongly urge you to take action to prevent the implementation of this rule.

The broad range of agricultural production in our country is what makes our country strong, and it also creates challenges, when we're trying to write a single farm bill that supports so many different regions and commodities.

With these in mind, the next farm bill must be designed with maximum flexibility and effective risk management for our farmers and ranchers as we feed a growing and hungry world.

As America's farmers and ranchers, we will do our fair share, I believe, to solve this problem, but so should the more than 80 percent of the farm bill spending for food stamps and other welfare programs.

Iowans are right to be outraged when their tax payer dollars are misspent.

We must promote an economy that works for all Americans.

No man or woman who has served our country in uniform should have to fight for a job or their benefits here at home.

if you are not audit-capable and you are here asking for more money, and you are not ready for a sequester, my constituents are very concerned with the proper use of taxpayer funds.

Thank you, Congressman. It's a pleasure to stand with you today. It is a pleasure to be here. But it is a real shock to see what is happening today. I would agree with the comments of my colleague and many others. I must admit--and I guess…
