On the recordSeptember 27, 2013
Mr. Speaker, if there's one thing I know that hardworking taxpayers back home in my district need in these tough economic times, it's certainty. It's tough enough putting food on the table and putting gas in the car without worrying that an out-of-control Federal Government is going to make life harder for you and your family. That's why last week my colleagues and I in the House passed legislation that provides some of that certainty. We don't want our fellow Americans to see their insurance premiums shoot up or lose their insurance altogether because of the President's unworkable health care law. And we want our government to stay open. That's what the American people need, and that's what the House has acted to do. Now it's time for the Senate to act as well. ____________________
