I submit to my colleagues in the House of Representatives that now is the time that we must stand. We cannot allow the President of the United States to continue to bully. We must wait on the adjudication by this court action with the…

I thank the chairman for this very sensible legislation. I appreciate his efforts in leading a bipartisan effort to reform U.S. chemical safety law that is decades in the making. I particularly thank him for securing amendments to section…

How does the American public have any confidence in the records, in the information that is captured and recorded if you are using private e-mail?

And what you are saying is, no, you really aren't allowed to have that freedom because there is a group of us who live up here who really do know what is best for you.

the real numbers are much higher than 4.9 percent. So it is really disingenuous to say to the American people that these policies have contributed toward 4.9 percent unemployment.

Frankly, the demographic group that is the lowest recovery is the low-income, minority people in this country.

What will grow your economy, what will create the jobs that you earnestly want, is an open market where companies can grow and not have this intense regulatory environment.

Yes, the reality is that this recovery is the most dismal, slow, tepid recovery we have ever had from a recession in recorded history.

China's two-child policy does little more than their previous one-child policy in combating this detrimental mass prejudice against daughters.

I spoke freely about the concerns that I had with human rights, religious liberties, freedoms of conscience that are pervasive throughout China.

I thank Chairman Luetkemeyer for his leadership on this bill, and I appreciate deeply the support and leadership of Congressman Cleaver. Mr. Chairman, today I rise in support of H.R. 3700, the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act…

The Chinese Government has shown a blatant disregard for the basic human rights of women.

Chairman Smith, thank you so much for your leadership on behalf of these individuals. Thank you, Chairman Royce, for your strong leadership as well. Mr. Speaker, right now more than 20 million people worldwide are caught up in modern-day…

I thank the gentleman from Georgia for yielding. Mr. Speaker, taxpayer money should not be used for abortions, period. Taxpayer money should not be used to support abortion providers, period. As Americans, we are proud to support life…

I take any relaxation of the policy as a step in the right direction, but the underlying problem... is the problem of the planned birth policy itself.

It is bizarre, and it certainly is a gross violation of human rights, to say the least.

I returned from China. I was there this fall, meeting with the leadership in Beijing and Shanghai and Shenzhen, with business leaders and government leaders, and had formal and informal discussions regarding issues related to human rights…

I congratulate my good friend from Kentucky (Mr. Barr) for his leadership on this important bill for consumers. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 1210, the Portfolio Lending and Mortgage Access Act. Since the creation of the Consumer…

It is not the status quo that should be acceptable.

The American taxpayer really deserves accountability on these dollars.

If people are abusing the system, and the American taxpayer is very tired of that, we need to eliminate the abuse.

I stand before you in full support of H.R. 3495, the Women's Public Health and Safety Act. This legislation amends Medicaid law to give States the freedom and flexibility to remove abortion providers from Medicaid. Taxpayer dollars should…

Many years ago, I was in London with my family at the British Museum and watched a little movie about the development and growth of a baby inside a mother's womb. The video was all about life, tracking the baby's development week by week…

China is among one of the world's greatest powers, but its rise has come at a spectacular cost--the rights of its people.

We must not turn a blind eye to these horrific acts.
