Voters all across the country have rejected the ``government knows best'' philosophy that prevailed during last year's health care debate. In contrast, my Republican colleagues and I believe that American innovation and reduced government…
I rise today in support of H.R. 2, which repeals the job-destroying government takeover of health care. Voters rejected the ``government knows best'' philosophy in November. In contrast, Republicans believe that American innovation and…
Last Saturday our country suffered a terrible blow. In a senseless and despicable act of violence, a crazed gunman attempted to kill one of this body's finest members and our good friend, Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, while slaying six…
Mr. Speaker, I rise today very disturbed by the lack of respect the ruling Democrat elites have shown for the will of the American people since election day. Having lost 63 seats in the House and six seats in the Senate, one would think…

Today I rise to honor the rich and transformative legacy of Jerry Long. Mr. Long died earlier this month after serving as a leader in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, civic and business life for decades. From his years of serving at the head…
