Glenn Grothman

I will just take a minute of your time to follow up on what Congressman Garrett just said. It seems to me, in my lifetime--I am not an expert on foreign affairs--there are good things the United States has done, and bad things. But the…

I would like to thank Congressman Lamborn for setting aside this Special Order. We are following up National Bible Week, so as the listeners know, National Bible Week is the week surrounding Thanksgiving. Why is National Bible Week…

I will emphasize something I think that has been said before. You always try to think of something new. You can't help but notice that the number of people who do not want the gray wolf delisted live in areas that don't have gray wolves…

People, of course, aren't supposed to sell their SNAP benefits, but we all know they do.

We are right now in a situation in which we are as close to full unemployment as I have seen in my lifetime.

I would also just like to thank those businesses out there that are training people out there without the benefit of government education at all, because those are also sometimes frequently very good jobs.

I am pleased to speak on this bill. As anybody who talks to the average person knows, in this country today, we have a huge labor shortage of people ready to do the type of jobs that industry needs. I have more manufacturing jobs in my…

I have long had an interest in election integrity, going back to the days when I was involved in State election law in the State of Wisconsin.

Any reason why we don't do that simple thing to guard against nefarious influence in our elections?

I always kind of question politicians who wouldn't do that. I mean, the same politicians who require photo IDs for getting maybe lifesaving drugs, a photo ID for a variety of other things, all of a sudden, when it comes to elections, they…

Which way are we going in this country? Are we having more people in which the government official can watch, or are we having more people voting, you know, somewhere where who knows who's really filling out the ballot?

I would hope our goal would be, over time, more and more people would be voting where we'd have a government official, the local clerk, watching to make sure nobody else is following them in the booth and saying, 'Vote for Glenn Grothman,'…

I came down to the floor today to address the resolution we have talked about regarding the carbon tax, but since then, I think something else has come up. We just heard one of my colleagues, I think, kind of belittle Uber drivers and…

The purpose of this amendment is to deal with the new rule entitled, ``National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone,'' which affects several Wisconsin counties that I represent along Lake Michigan. Since the original CLEAR Act came…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of division A (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

Just a comment from the humble Congressman from Wisconsin. It was said that this is a small amount. I still think $300 million is a lot of money, okay? And we are only taking about $45 million out of that. We are leaving a lot behind. We…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment, as modified, offered by the gentleman from Wisconsin will be postponed. Amendment No. 40 Offered by Mr. Beyer The Acting…

I will address the amendment. The purpose of this amendment is to try to make a small dent in what I consider to be the overall excessive spending that is going on here. In the year which we are currently in, we anticipate borrowing about…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 115, line 17, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $23,250,000)''. Page 116, line 5, after…

I thank my Democratic colleagues for making this a fine piece of bipartisan legislation. I hope when the recommendations come back in 9 months, we can have another nice big bipartisan vote and move the recommendations out. Mr. Speaker, I…

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 261. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the resolution. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the ayes…

I would like to thank the gentleman from Minnesota for introducing this bill. As he said, the North Country Trail is really a gem that goes across seven States. But I take particular interest in it because the 173 miles that we are adding…

But we're broke, kind of getting back to what the chairman said, we're broke out of our mind, okay?

I would like to speak on this amendment and make a few points. Madam Chair, it is true the public health establishment is opposed to this amendment. It is also true, if you look at the amount of allergies out there, the amount of some…

I thank again the gentleman from California for bringing forth this amendment and the gentleman from Texas for all of the work that he did on the bill. I think sometimes, rather than have hearings, you find out a lot more about these…
