“I thank the gentleman from the Fourth District. I would point out to the Speaker that, yesterday, Congressman Hall was one of the Texas Congressmen who went to the World War II Memorial to make sure that our veterans on their honor flight were allowed in to see it.

Then one more from a gentleman named Tim Ruschi: Dear Representative Barton, I just want to express my support for your efforts. I am watching you right now on C- SPAN. My wife and I received a certified letter recently from our insurance provider, Cigna, informing us that our health insurance plan is being dissolved, effective January 1, 2014. I believe the President knew he was lying when he boldly proclaimed many times that, if people liked their insurance coverage, they could keep it--period.…”
