Congratulations to Gold Medal Winner Kayla Harrison!

Posted by Press Office on August 02, 2012

Kayla Harrison, a native of Middletown, Ohio, secured her spot in Olympic history today, becoming the first American to ever win a gold medal in judo. Despite his busy schedule in the U.S. Capitol this morning, Congressman Boehner tuned in from his office for a few moments to watch her impressive victory, and then wished her congratulations shortly thereafter at his weekly press conference:

“And finally, let me just say congratulations to Kayla Harrison, a native of Middletown, Ohio, who just won a gold medal in the female judo competition. She’s the first American woman to ever win a gold medal in judo, and she did her country, our community, proud today. Congratulations.”

I'm having some problems on making my mind up who to vote for Pressident. Does Obama have a good relationship, with Israel. Would he support Israel if there is a war, or conflict. I want to stand with Israel, because the bible teaches us this is Land that was promased to these people. I like the way you are handling things, but this tea party stuff, is redicelous.I was raised Republican, but I like to know what a person stands for, Guess I should be asking the other party this, but I believe you to be an honest tell the truth man.If Romney vows hes with Israel Hes the person to vote for, I'm not the only person wanting to know these things and it will make a difference in the election, If we do the right thing in God sight He will bless us wit jobs. Thanks for hearing me or I hope you do. Sincerly jennelle Proffitt

Pass the farm bill. We are getting tired of the house blocking all legislation. Miserable leadership and obstinate repupublicans. You are ruining this country
