AZ BLM got the message after I intro’d bill to protect recreational shooting in AZ/West – Sonoran Desert to remain open to target shooting.
My thoughts + prayers to families of the consulate attack victims in Libya. Such senseless, violent acts cannot be tolerated or justified.
Today, we remember those taken from us 11 years ago and when we stood together, united. Today, we renew our pledge to never forget.
The U.S. debt hits $16T today. More than ever, we need a Grand Slam of a plan to ace the debt.

Disappointed House defeated Rep. Franks’ Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act. Should be something everyone can agree on.
http://t.co/RCVR8EHY
Glad the House passed the Secure Border Act. It’s going to be more work getting the Obama Admin on board, though.

http://t.co/6R8pLFy8
Today is for remembering those who fight for the cause of freedom. Thank you to our brave soldiers for all you’ve done and continue to do.
More reasons to pass CLEER Act: EPA redesignating Pinal County as nonattainment for PM 10 – dust.

Hard to believe my amendment rolling back NSF funding to pre-Stimulus levels would save $1B+. Harder to believe the House didn’t pass it.

Obama Administration steps in it, backs away from "Youth Ag Rule" that would keep kids off farms. Yeehaw!
Amdt to prevent govt overreach I helped offer in Cmte today passed, will keep 1000s of hotel/community pools from having to close for summer
The Obama Administration should focus on securing the border instead of suing Arizona for trying to help.
http://t.co/IzNCbxFe
So just how many congressmen does it take to come up with a plan for paying down our debt?
