- Today, I spoke to the Arizona Historical Society about the importance of preserving our history and sharing it with younger generations.

Census data shows over $60k spent per household in poverty in our nation.
- Obamacare has driven up taxes, increased health care costs and placed bureaucrats in the way of patient driven care—Obamacare is a malady to the American people, and American prosperity. It needs to be repealed and replaced. I will continue to advocate for stronger, smarter and more cost effective measures to solve our nation’s healthcare crisis.
- Today, I was honored to receive the Champion of National Security Award from the Center for Security Policy. The government’s core responsibility is that of national security—to defend from all threats, both foreign and domestic. I will continue to carry out that responsibility for love of country and of freedom.

- Last week, it was reported by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service that welfare spending in the United States has jumped 32% in the past four years.
America is at a crossroads. Will we continue our current trend towards fiscal...collapse? Or, do we pull ourselves up by the bootstraps, reduce the size of government and the role it plays in U.S. citizens’ everyday lives, and allow our great nation to regain its posture in the world? Please click below to read my latest blog on the issue.See More - Today, we learned through emails obtained by Reuters that the Obama Administration knew within hours of the deadly September 11th attack in Libya of an Islamic militant group taking credit for the act of terror.
These emails contradict the Obama Administration’s initial claims. The American people and the families of the victims deserve the truth about who knew what, and when. http://tinyurl.com/94jf3gj

First, Americans have a right to know that the money Washington takes from them is well spent. And Americans deserve an efficient, effective government that works for them. Our duty on the Oversight Committee is to protect these rights.
