Michele Bachmann

It seems like two things have gone on. While the secret negotiations were going on between the United States and Iran, it seems to me that at the worst possible time in the negotiations, beginning last June, the United States intentionally…

But it seems that additional sanctions against Iran would be exactly what is needed now to let Iran know that the United States would do whatever it takes, including a military option, to stop Iran from reaching its stated goal of…

It appears that we have sent a signal that America is weak, America is in decline.

I want to say thank you to my colleague, Peter Roskam. We came in together when we won our election in 2006. It has been a privilege to serve with Mr. Roskam, who is not only the head and cochair of the Israel Caucus but who is also a…

I would like to again refer to one of my colleagues who has also eloquently written on this subject, and I would like to give her credit as well. She is a former Member of this body but a wonderful Member with whom I had the privilege of…

I thank you for this opportunity and the privilege to be able to be here in the well of the greatest deliberative body on Earth, the United States House of Representatives, to talk about what I believe is one of the most crucial issues…

I was not present during roll No. 544, on agreeing to H. Res. 380. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.'' ____________________

When the federal government controls your health care, they literally control life and death.

I come to the podium today in recognition of the passing of my predecessor and one of the Members of this body. Joining me at the podium are two members of the Minnesota delegation. Representative Erik Paulsen of Minnesota's Third…

This egregious system that will be ultimately known as death care must be defeated.

I want to thank Representative Hartzler for her wonderful leadership this afternoon. We've heard wonderful comments about why we're here and why this is so important. People all across the United States want us in to get our act together…

We're trying to protect the lives and the health care of these wonderful veterans who did for us.

I thank the gentleman from Texas, Judge Ted Poe, because what we are fighting is to make ObamaCare equal for all Americans. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Holding). Members are reminded to address their…

That's a wonderful rendition, and I appreciate the gentleman from Louisiana. I now yield to Representative LaMalfa from California's First Congressional District. Mr. LaMALFA. I greatly appreciate the gentlelady from Minnesota for her…

Thank you, Representative LaMalfa, for all of your hard work on defunding and delaying ObamaCare. We have next with us Mr. Culberson from Texas' Seventh Congressional District, who has been tireless, especially in the area of keeping…

I am extremely grateful to Representative Culberson. I know his daughter, Caroline, is the most precious part of his life, as our daughter, Caroline, is as well. And as a gentleman from Texas, I know it's his daughter that he's most…

I thank the gentleman from Texas' 25th District, Mr. Williams. We have, also, Mr. Rothfus from Pennsylvania's 12th. Mr. Rothfus, thank you for joining us today.

I thank the gentleman from New Jersey, Mr. Scott Garrett. He has given a brilliant case on why ObamaCare enjoys a 57 percent disapproval rate by the American people. The privacy security breach is one that I think we can't underscore…

I thank the gentleman from Florida. I yield to the gentleman from New Jersey, Mr. Scott Garrett. He is another tireless stalwart that, during the time when we were trying to fight, said, This is what's going to happen, is exactly what…

I thank Mr. Bentivolio. I yield now to Scott Tipton from Colorado's Third Congressional District, a fabulous Member of Congress.

Thank you, Representative Tipton. From the Rocky Mountains all the way to the great State of New York, I yield to Mr. Tom Reed, a fabulous Member of Congress from New York's 22nd Congressional District.

Thank you to Congresswoman Foxx. Thank you for your leadership in this area. It's wonderful, I think, to hear from women, and one woman in particular is the gentlelady from Tennessee, Marsha Blackburn, who has let our Conference know…

I want to say thank you to the gentlewoman from Tennessee for all her passion and vigor and also for the wonderful piece of legislation because I think it's a good compromise at this point on ObamaCare. And if the truth be told, I think a…

Representative Tom Reed has gone to the heart of this problem, which is the lack of fairness in ObamaCare. And speaking to that is Representative Ted Poe of the great State of Texas. After myself, my mother's favorite Member of Congress is…

I thank the gentleman from Montana. We also have Roger Williams from Texas' 25th Congressional District.
