The EPA is out to get you and crucify you. That's the message from one of President Obama's EPA appointees to our country's oil and natural gas companies. Yesterday, we learned that an official at the Environmental Protection Agency based…

In this hour, I and my colleagues who will be joining me very shortly--other physicians who are from the GOP Doctors Caucus, perhaps nurses, and other health care workers as well-- in this next hour we're going to be talking about our…

Yes. You say that the threshold is 50 employees and that they lose certain subsidies or certainly face more penalties or costs after 50. What is the chance that a small business that has 49 employees will dare hire another employee? {time}…

My amendment today maintains the State of Louisiana's ability to regulate hunting within its borders. In a decision announced March 1, 2012, the Forest Service Regional Forester located way over in Atlanta, Georgia, went over the heads of…

I thank the gentleman. Again, great points. Estimates are as high as 20 million Americans who are on insurance today through their employers, happy and satisfied with the coverage they have, that will be pushed off. Why? Because the…

I just want to respond, again, the people of Louisiana, the State of Louisiana has full support of doing away with this prohibition. This was a decision made by somebody in Atlanta, a Federal person, that has to do with what is really a…
