Political Quotes

On the recordMay 20, 2013
Time and time again, the President and the liberal-controlled Senate have disregarded initiatives to create jobs. This week, the House will vote on an all-of-the-above energy policy that will create 20,000 shovel-ready jobs, 100,000 additional jobs, and invest $20 billion into our struggling economy, working with Canada, America's best energy partner. For over a year and a half, the current administration has blocked efforts to build the Keystone pipeline. On numerous occasions, the President has claimed to support an all-of-the-above energy plan; however, his actions do not match his words. This project directly affects families across our great Nation. In South Carolina's Second Congressional District, Michelin Tire Corporation in Lexington produces earthmover tires at $60,000 each, 12 feet high, used in Alberta, Canada, and MTU Diesel of Tognum America in Graniteville manufactures engines for oil sand recovery. It is my hope that my colleagues will join in voting for this legislation, which will help put American families back to work. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
