I am grateful to welcome the four new members of the South Carolina delegation to the 112th Congress. This past election, the voters of South Carolina let their voices be heard. The message was loud and clear: limit spending, with the largest Republican South Carolina delegation in over 130 years. The voters can rest assured the message was heard in Washington. These four conservative, successful small business leaders were elected based on their principles. Promises to reduce spending, limit government, and attain fiscal responsibility will now be real priorities. The people of South Carolina will benefit the most from this dynamic young team. The enthusiasm they bring is energizing. Congressmen Tim Scott, Jeff Duncan, Trey Gowdy and Mick Mulvaney are welcome to Federal public service. We will work together in making this the most accessible and accountable delegation for the people of South Carolina. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
