The Republicans in the House voted four different times to keep the entire government open before anything was shut down, but Senator Reid would not allow that to be taken up in the Senate.

Do you believe our rights come from our creator or from our government and Constitution?

I was out there at the World War II Memorial on Tuesday morning because Representative Steve Palazzo of Mississippi emailed that he had a bunch of World War II veterans that were coming by bus and there were barricades that had been put up.

I would note for the chairman that the law was violated by the Park Service in sending police and maintenance personnel out to the park.

If Steve Palazzo and I had not picked up the barricades, separated them, after establishing with the Park Service who we were, those barricades were not going to be opened and those World War II veterans were not being allowed in.

In an article from WND Radio published October 10, they wrote: Sticker Shock! Americans Floored By ObamaCare Cost. The technical problems with the ObamaCare insurance exchanges are no surprise, are further evidence the whole program should…

At this time, I yield to my friend from Florida (Mr. DeSantis). ObamaCare Mr. DeSANTIS. I thank the gentleman from Texas. Mr. Speaker, I just want to say a few words about accountability. Normally, the way it works is that Congress can…

I appreciate so much my friend from Florida. I am always greatly appreciative and thrilled when I find somebody who attended an Ivy League school that got a good education. The points are well made by my friend from Florida. There were…

This administration obviously is trying to preemptively close off an area in Alaska that is the size of West Virginia.

And I am sure that Mr. LaMalfa has had people ask, as I have had, now, why in the world is ObamaCare costing so dramatically much more than the health insurance we had before? And then we get notified we are actually getting less health…

For a government that shuts down, there sure seems to be a great deal going on. Down here on the Mall, somehow the National Park Service, which has been, parenthetically speaking here, presiding over a park service, beginning with the…

I don't think the EPA has been as concerned, or has recognized the importance of having a vibrant economy.

Reclaiming my time just momentarily, it is also worth noting that here in the House we have actually had numerous Democrats vote with us. So the only really bipartisan thing that has been going on in this whole Capitol are our bills to…

And there is a story today from the Daily Caller about the White House IRS exchanged confidential taxpayer information by Patrick Howley. So if you think your personal information is secure with the IRS, or with the Federal Government, it…

When people are out of work and they can't find jobs, they don't seem to be nearly as interested in the environment.

Well, apparently, our time is expiring. I appreciate so much my friend, Mr. LaMalfa, helping me. And we should not be treated any differently. The President and his family need to sign up. But, Mr. Speaker, I think it is worth noting that…

Thank you. I appreciate my friend from Pennsylvania. You were mentioning some of the things that the prior speakers, the Democrats, were saying. And one of the things that was said was, give us a vote, when, as my friend from Pennsylvania…

I appreciate so much my friend, Mr. Perry from Pennsylvania, bringing this whole issue forward. There are a number of more votes that we did take. We took up the Head Start for Low-Income Children Act, providing official education funding…

In information that came out after close of business yesterday, there was a report from CNBC about the 99 percent of ObamaCare applications that hit a wall. This report said: As few as 1 in 100 applications on the Federal exchange contains…

There is a lot of talk about ObamaCare, as most people call it. It's just difficult after the hundreds of stories we're getting from back home--not just me, but so many Members of Congress. It's just hard to call it the ``Affordable Care…

I always enjoy my friends on the other side of the aisle, some really terrific public speakers. I also enjoyed particularly the question from my friend across the aisle who said: ``Why not let ObamaCare just go through?'' That is something…

It sounds like the gentleman is basically asking a question like Dana Bash. Well, that would have helped veterans who are sick and need help and are seeking medical care and need their checks to finish getting the medication and things…

I thank my friend, Dr. LaMalfa, and my friend the combat veteran, Mr. Bridenstine. Mr. Speaker, we are still wondering why they would not want to help these people? I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

These can be the times that try men's souls. I heard my colleagues across the aisle talking earlier this hour about a GOP tantrum over the Affordable Care Act. I'm not aware of the GOP throwing a tantrum over the so-called Affordable Care…

Reclaiming my time, one of the things that I greatly appreciate is the in-depth analysis, the careful cogitation and contemplation about the role we are supposed to play. I have greatly appreciated that. Another new Member of Congress is…
