So I do object to the motion by the distinguished Senator from California. As I was saying, there are two ways to help those who are looking for work and one of which is to improve the economy. We can do that by giving some…

I believe this law is going to be bad for patients, for providers, the nurses and doctors who take care of them, as well as for taxpayers. It has been no surprise to me that Americans want and expect repeal of this health care law. The…

I appreciate the comments by my colleague from Michigan because this was brought to the floor previously but with a threshold of 67 votes, and there were two different approaches to trying to help the small businesses across the country…

what we ought to do and what we need to do is to find a way to fund the government and prevent a tax hike on every American come January 1.

Dear Leader Reid: The nation's unemployment level, stuck near 10 percent, is unacceptable to Americans. Senate Republicans have been urging Congress to make private-sector job creation a priority all year. President Obama in his first…

I would like to take the opportunity to express my appreciation to Ian Lowe for his hard work as an intern in my Washington, DC, office. I recognize his efforts and contributions to my office as well as to the State of Wyoming. Ian is a…

I would like to take the opportunity to express my appreciation to Robert Daley for his hard work as an intern in my Washington, DC, office. I recognize his efforts and contributions to my office as well as to the State of Wyoming. Robert…

I would like to take the opportunity to express my appreciation to Max Weiss for his hard work as an intern in my Rock Springs office. I recognize his efforts and contributions to my office as well as to the State of Wyoming. Max is a…

A couple of weeks ago, Americans voted. They voted for more jobs, for less spending and, of course, for smaller government. As you know, I have come to the Senate floor week after week to give a doctor's second opinion about the health…

We have also appreciated his advocacy and understanding of our issues.

To me this is also a national security issue.

The permitting process has become a big hurdle.

Thank you, Mr. President. As my colleagues know, I have come to the floor week after week after this bill was signed into law with a doctor's second opinion based on my nearly quarter of a century practice in Wyoming, taking care of…

At a minimum, he deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars.

The American people, especially families of those who lost loved ones in Pan Am Flight 103, deserve answers and the real facts.

I rise today to honor and recognize the Wyoming Army National Guard 300th Armored Field Artillery Battalion Cowboy Cannoneers. On October 1, 2010, the 300th soldiers will gather for their final battalion reunion. This reunion marks the…

I will offer a unanimous consent request in a moment that will permanently lock fairness into the Tax Code. American taxpayers are currently allowed to deduct either State income or sales taxes on their Federal tax return. Americans who…

I come to the floor today, on the 6- month anniversary of the signing into law of what has commonly across the country come to be called ObamaCare. I come as a physician, someone who has practiced medicine in Wyoming since the early 1980s…

for the past 6 months I have come to the floor of the U.S. Senate to offer my doctor's ``second opinion'' about the health reform law. Day after day, week after week, we continue to see disturbing news reports uncovering the law's…

I come to the floor today as the Senate returns to give a doctor's second opinion of the health care law. As someone who has taken care of families in the State of Wyoming since 1983, to give a doctor's second opinion of the new health…

I thought it was so important that more Americans should know about this. The article explains that: Key White House allies are dramatically shifting their attempts to defend health care legislation, abandoning claims that it will reduce…

today I share with the Senate a remarkable story, a story about a man, who, simply by living and cherishing his American dream, inspired hundreds--if not thousands--to pursue their own. Dr. Kristaps J. Keggi came to New York in 1949 with…

We do need to settle the Cobell lawsuit. I ask the leaders to, over the next couple weeks, come together and allow for a very limited debate, possibly a few amendments on the floor, and then an up-or-down vote. That is the sort of thing we…

I appreciate the hard work done by my colleague from North Dakota and his commitment as chairman of the Indian Affairs Committee to try to come to a solution in the Cobell settlement. He is absolutely right. We still need to work on some…

In Wyoming's 120 year history, only 21 people have served as U.S. Senator for our State. One stands out as a compassionate, skilled and illustrious figure. United States Senator Alan K. Simpson is a lifelong public servant who is dedicated…
