“I want to say to my friend from Pennsylvania how proud I am to serve with him and how proud I am to serve with him in the House Freedom Caucus. People like to malign the Freedom Caucus on the other side of the aisle--heck, even a little bit on our side of the aisle--for daring to want to stand up for freedom, the belief in the individual, the belief in civil society, the belief in Federalism, and the belief in free enterprise. The belief that not all answers come from this town; it doesn't come from this government. In fact, if you empower people, empower States, and empower civil society, than human beings prosper, their lives are made better. They are able to go carry out the greatest things that you could possibly imagine to bring freedom to the rest of the world as this country has done for almost 250 years. That is why we are here. That is why I am in the Freedom Caucus. That is why I am pushing forward, along with my colleague, my friend from Pennsylvania, and my other colleagues. Forty-two of us have signed a pledge and put out a letter, a letter that says that we are going to reject any continuing resolution that expires before the next Congress.…”
