I am really hopeful long term indeed that we can have a positive relationship.

I had the opportunity last year, with Congresswoman Bordallo, to visit Vietnam.

ObamaCare is a disaster. The President knows it; Congress knows it; and most importantly, the American people now know it. The President claims to be working with Congress to stop the train wreck the ACA is waging on American families…

Millions of Americans have received cancellation notices for their insurance policies as a result of ObamaCare's failed legislation. The Wall Street Journal anticipates this number to reach 10 million by January 1. Citizens living in the…

I certainly hope the administration is making every effort to avoid what we have already heard could be an impending civil war.

In 2009, as the President traveled across the country campaigning for his signature health care takeover, he promised every American family that: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your…

The American people have shed blood on behalf of the people of Iraq, and we want success and hope for success.

What is the United States doing to prevent further attacks and greater loss of life in terms of ensuring the safety and security of the residents?

After the September 1st massacre, the State Department called for an independent investigation by the United Nations, 74 days on nothing's been done.

Constituents living across South Carolina's Second Congressional District have communicated very sincere concerns about the implementation of ObamaCare. Sarah from North Augusta writes: People should not be punished because they grow old…

The Augusta Chronicle lead editorial on Saturday hit the nail on the head, pointing out the real truths about the ObamaCare train wreck. Americans remember a ``soothing assurance from President Obama in 2009 when he was hawking his…

Last night I hosted a teletown hall with constituents across South Carolina's Second Congressional District. Apart from the vast majority calling for the President and Democrats in the Senate to negotiate with House Republicans to end the…

Two Army Rangers, a nurse, and an Army criminal investigator were killed in action while defending our freedoms on Sunday. Because of a devastating decision made by the administration, the grieving families of American heroes Sergeant…

To me, the Justice Department is truly totally politicized. It is a political arm promoting the policies of the President of the United States.

I am very, very concerned that what I see is politicization.

It has been 1 week since the government shutdown. For 1 week, the President and Senate Democrats have refused to negotiate to reopen the government's doors. House Republicans know the hardships American families are facing due to…

2 weeks ago Friday, the President called Speaker Boehner out of the blue to announce he would not negotiate to avoid a shutdown. Since then, the President has made no plans to negotiate and has hosted one White House meeting to restate his…

Mr. Smith, again, I appreciate your support of this, but it is important because, sadly, information has been provided that chaplains would be subject to trespassing charges. So this does, obviously, interfere with the ability of freedom…
