When considering the economic recovery needs of the gulf coast, a one-size-fits-all approach won't work.

I think the answer is the Constitution.

This move would impose devastating, unjustified and burdensome regulations on farmers and ranchers already struggling in this economy.

As we continue our hearings on online privacy issues, we need to ask ourselves two fundamental questions.

It is my job as a parent, not the government's job, to ensure that my children eat healthy foods and develop healthy habits.

Nothing is more important to me than keeping my kids safe.

America and Europe have very differing viewpoints toward the protection of personal data on the Internet.

Hopefully, members on both sides will heed their message and work together to find a more sensible solution.

When the Obama Administration's Environmental Protection Agency blindsided Texas by including in its cross-state pollution rule at the last minute, Texas utility companies warned that the decision would lead to a shortage of electricity…

Luminant is one of the latest victims of an agency that is out of control.

I get concerned that some of the regulations and that this Administration is pushing this Environmental Protection Agency, they are hurting our economy right here and inhibiting the growth of job creation that we were seeking to have.

It is unfair. It kills American jobs.

the EPA continues to move at full speed ahead with their politically motivated agenda to eliminate affordable and reliable fuel for our Nation's energy portfolio.

These EPA regulations will result in more businesses closing their doors and even more American jobs shipped overseas.

Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of their own privacy.

I appreciate all of the efforts to help move us forward on this important issue, and I hope we can arrive at a truly bipartisan balanced bill that protects consumers without putting unnecessary burdens on companies or hindering important…

There is a clear need for government, businesses, and citizens to work together to protect citizens' personal information.

It just seems to me that this administration would rather increase our dependence on foreign oil rather than tap into our American supply.

Why not invest this money right here, increase American jobs, reduce our dependence upon foreign oil?

I call for careful consideration of human space flight funding within the overall NASA budget.

Unfortunately, the Obama Administration's budget for NASA cedes our historical dominance in human space flight to countries like China, Russia, and India.

A strong commitment to human space exploration is vital to America's national security and economy.

I believe this act is unconstitutional. We know these regulations will destroy jobs and hurt an already weak economy.

The EPA improperly usurped State authority and has repeatedly demonstrated a disturbing pattern of behavior of abuse of their Federal authority in the State of Texas, and it must stop.

make--make no mistake, we are here today because the EPA has overstepped its bounds and it does not respect the authority of the individual States.
