I was trying to figure out in Massachusetts if it was meeting a need of under-served.

I thank the gentleman from Indiana. It is my privilege to get a chance to be able to speak out for the constituents that I represent who are asking the same questions a lot of Americans are asking: Why did you just drop my hours? People…

It is. And it is wildly unpopular larger in that group as well. Every section of Americans, when you go and get a chance to visit with them, they will tell you the same thing: my premiums went up; my deduction went up; I lost access to a…

I would have to tell you honestly, I would like nothing better for my citizens that I represent to not have to live under this law. I would absolutely vote again, as I have multiple times, to repeal this entire law. But I also have a…

I thank the gentlelady for hosting this conversation and for standing up for liberty. I have seen you on this floor over and over again, speaking up for what is right in our Nation. I very much appreciate that. When a family runs their…

I thank the gentleman for Mississippi for being here and being part of this conversation because this does affect every single corner of our Nation. Everywhere we go, this tends to be the same issue repeated over and over again. How do…

I want to continue on this ongoing conversation. How do decisions get made in America? It is the assumption again that if you are a landowner or a farmer and rancher, you look around your farm and you look for what is best for your land…

When a family runs a business by the principles of their faith--which used to be protected in America--can a President step in and say: I disagree with your faith, so I will pass a regulation that says you can no longer practice your faith…

I thank the gentleman. As the husband of an amazing lady and a dad of two amazing two young daughters, I enjoyed the previous Special Order that happened here about Women's History Month. I, as a dad, want to see my daughters be able to…

It is amazing when we get a chance to be able to talk about something simple: Can a company run its own business? That seems like a very straightforward statement. Of course a company can run its own business. But it is fascinating to me…

I can tell you I am all for a cost- benefit analysis, but the challenge of doing a cost-benefit analysis comes down to who is doing the cost-benefit analysis and what are they putting into it. There have been multiple times that we have…

I am submitting for the Record letters of exchange between the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Committees on Budget and Judiciary and Rules regarding the committees' jurisdictional interest in H.R. 899. House of…

I want to make a few brief comments. I yield myself as much time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman, I wanted to have the opportunity to be able to just dialogue a little bit about some of the things we just heard about, things like judicial…

I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this bill. It is a simple, straightforward bill that asks a couple of quick questions: Do the people of America work for the Federal Government, or does the Federal Government…

Independent regulatory agencies impose significant costs on our economy and often impose Federal mandates on State and local governments and the private sector. The Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Labor Relations Board…

As I have stated before, it is entirely appropriate for independent agencies to have to also review the cost in the actual context of what they are accomplishing and the economy itself. That is an appropriate thing for every agency to do…

It may be a good moment to shine some facts into this debate. I agree that expanding the consultation requirements for the impacted parties is important. Those parties directed affected by the regulation should have an opportunity to be…

There are a lot of things that I oppose in government. Duplication is one of those. Clarity is best done when it is clear and it is said one time and it is consistent. It is already very clear. Individuals, partnerships, associations…

I want us to be able to move forward on this bill. I want the American people to know that their government serves them and that individuals are able to be able to speak back to their own government when their government is imposing a…

This bill assumes one simple thing: that regulators are not infallible, they are just people. We believe that the Nation will not fall apart if Washington doesn't have more and more growing power. We believe that this Nation became strong…

Yeah, it is a challenge with a species like the prairie dog, obviously, that is a nuisance creature, quite frankly.

The Federal Government exists to be able to serve the people. And affected parties should be at the table.

So I am spending millions of dollars fighting against data that I have no idea what it is, how accurate it is, how well-researched it was, if it was even peer-reviewed.

Returning the situation to prior European settlement status.

As an Evangelical Christian myself, I have this overwhelming sense that we have a responsibility to take care of what God has given us.
