Nothing is more important than the safety of our children and our families.

We believe in free enterprise. We believe that an individual can grow a dream and should be able to do that without the help of the Government.

We cannot raise taxes on the American people when this kind of waste is going on.

Your courageous efforts to bring attention to human rights abuse in China are exemplary and future generations will be indebted to you for your courage and your devotion to the cause of creating a free and fair China.

After today's vote, we must continue our efforts to find more answers than there are questions relating to this administration's catastrophic Fast and Furious. The American people deserve to know those answers, and the family of Border…

I thank the gentleman from Arizona for his excellent work on this important bill. I rise this afternoon in support of H.R. 3541 as a woman, as a mother of four daughters, and as a grandmother of three granddaughters. Mr. Speaker, there can…
