Taking care of our country's veterans is one of the most important things we can do as Members of Congress.

We can all agree that veterans and Prisoners of War should not have to struggle to get the proper healthcare and medical services that fits their needs.

Instead of more freedom and opportunity, it promises more coercion and red tape.

It increases the coercive power of big labor at the expense of workers and business owners.

Thanks to a skyrocketing economy -- and I think that is evident all across the board -- propelled by recent tax cuts, innovation, regulatory reform, and American enterprise with great workers throughout the country doing the jobs that only…

There is nothing 'progressive' or 'modern' about what the Democrats are proposing in this bill.

While workers' lives are improving, union membership rates have steadily plummeted, suggesting what Democrats refused to acknowledge, that strong workers, strong union workers, as well, and not strong union bosses lead to economic…

The bill we are here to discuss today, H.R. 2474, the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, or the PRO Act, is a sweeping labor union boss wish list designed to appeal to liberal Democrat primary voters, rather than American workers in a…

I would certainly hope we wouldn't go backwards, that we would not move this legislation that I think would ultimately hurt the opportunities for people to have those choices.

Choice and flexibility are key, I believe, to success, choice and flexibility.

I truly believe that employees and employers being successful together only extends the opportunity for success.

The Democrats' current labor agenda would take us back to the volatile 1930s-era conflicts between labor and management.

There is nothing progressive or modern about what Democrats are proposing in this bill.

But the anti-worker bill being discussed today would threaten this progress.

But the anti-worker freedom bill being discussed today would threaten this progress.

The radical and coercive policies in this legislation are blatantly anti-worker and blatantly pro-union boss.

Nothing that I see in this bill, the PRO Act, H.R. 2474, I believe, offer that opportunity for both sides.

H.R. 2474 codifies the Obama administration's radical ambush election rule.

If an employer is unable to prove that it didn't interfere, a union is automatically ushered into the workplace without ever winning a secret ballot election.

Americans select their representation in Congress by secret ballot, and congressional Democrats select their own leadership by secret ballot. But today, they seek to deny the same right to Americans in the workplace.

I thank the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Duncan) for yielding. Often during that polar vortex, I thought of South Carolina and sometimes wished that I could enjoy the warm breezes. Madam Speaker, as a member of the House Energy…

As we move forward, we should seek participation from the energy sector as well and their growing wireless needs.

I appreciate serving with you and also drawing attention to the fact that we were successful in getting the $3 million amendment for CESER past the House, and that is the first step.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Chair, I appreciate the fact here of striking the last word. I rise in opposition to amendment 36, which was en bloc. Despite the description of this amendment, it would actually reduce broadband…

I thank the gentlelady and our Chairman, and thank you for running the Committee the way you have.
