After a somber day of remembrance, I shared some thoughts on what this day means:- With my Colleagues during the September 11, 2001 Congressional Remembrance Ceremony.
- On this day, we honor, celebrate, and commemorate the lives and memories of the nearly 3,000 people who perished on a fateful Tuesday 11 years ago. While the horrors that transpired shook the very core of our nation, out of the rubble came the very best of what our nation exemplifies. Among the 3,000 who lost their lives included countless individuals who instead of running for cover selflessly ...ran towards the danger to help in any way they could. Our nation and the world must never forget the sacrifices made by these individuals, as well as the thousands of firefighters, police officers, passengers, and volunteers who willingly put themselves in harm’s way to help others. Heroism is the only word to describe these acts. I will never forget the events that took place on September 11, 2001. Nor do I want to. The heroes we talk about today make me proud to be an American and a human. These men and women highlight and epitomize the very best of the human spirit.See More

- During the worst recovery in 70 years, the president is demanding a small business tax increase the will destroy an additional 700,000 jobs. Now is the time to create jobs, not kill them. We need to create an environment where small businesses can flourish, and Americans can get back to work.
- U.S. payrolls grew by a weaker-than-expected 96,000 in August. The report reinforces signs of a lackluster economy as Americans continue to be out of work. It is time to get America working again. One way to do so is by taking the 30 House-Passed jobs bills to a vote in the Senate.

- Today, the United States Treasury Department announced that the national debt has surpassed $16 trillion. It seems that some in Washington want to politicize this issue, and can't seem find the right time, the right reason to cut spending. Today, we have 16 trillion reasons to change course and end our national spending spree.
