- I'm excited to be back on the road today in Geneva County to hear about the issues facing our local industries. #AL02
- Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. We must do more to promote job creation by cutting red tape and keeping taxes low. #4jobs
- A recent survey shows that just 16% of small businesses plan to hire new employees this year. http://t.co/OkgYvwiC
- & fighting for an “all of the above” energy strategy that lowers costs at the pump. Unfortunately our bills still await action in the Senate
- In the House, we've taken action to help the middle class by passing more than two dozen jobs bills, working to stop tax hikes...
- Here's the link to the AP story on VP Biden's comments: http://t.co/TU24OhQX
- VP Biden is right: the middle class has been “buried” the last 4 years - by job-killing regulations, rising energy costs & debilitating debt
- This ill-conceived law would have put an undue financial burden on Alabama, and the Governor was right to decline participation.
- I applaud @GovernorBentley's decision to opt Alabama out of ObamaCare.
- The House has passed a fiscally responsible #budget, acted to prevent the #taxhike, and offset the #sequester with spending reductions.
- We are now only three months away from a massive tax increase on all Americans and devastating cuts to our nation’s military #FiscalNewYear
- The Senate has now gone over 1,250 days without fulfilling its responsibility to pass a budget. #FiscalNewYear
- The fiscal year 2012 budget ends with a fourth straight $1 trillion deficit. #FiscalNewYear
- Today starts the new fiscal year, so I thought it would be a fitting time to share a few facts with you...
- This bill ensures our priority is helping businesses that create jobs, not feeding contracts to a gov't-owned corp that employs lawbreakers
- That’s why I support @RepHuizenga's bill to take away prison labor’s competitive advantage & “level the playing field” for federal contracts
- It makes no sense for the federal gov't to allow prison labor to limit our job creators' ability to compete for work http://t.co/0B09zqNK
- Several constituents contacted me concerned abt prison labor competing w/ private sector business, and I looked into it http://t.co/0B09zqNK

- We just passed legislation to stop the Obama Admin’s recent attempt to circumvent welfare reform, reinforcing strict work requirements
- @MadisonU yes. CBO report says tax will hit 2 million more than oringially predicted. That's 50 percent more.
- That's adding insult to injury for millions of Americans who already are struggling without health care coverage.
- It’s time to repeal ObamaCare once and for all and replace it with a free market-based system that makes sense.
- Surprise, surprise - turns out almost 6 million uninsured Americans will be taxed under the ObamaCare law: http://t.co/kt8MyVNm
- Surprise, surprise: It turns out almost 6 million uninsured Americans will be taxed under the ObamaCare law http://t.co/Dzyuig9I

- Right now we're voting on the "No More Solyndras Act," which protects taxpayers from getting stuck w/ the bill for a president's risky bets
- If President Obama wants to amend welfare reform he needs to work through the legislative process.
- To wind back work requirements is a bad idea. To try to circumvent the law with bureaucratic tricks is wrong, and we’re putting a stop to it
- There’s no question welfare reform helped millions of Americans pull themselves out of poverty, due in large part to work requirements
- This time it has real-world implications for taxpayers.Welfare reform is among the most meaningful bipartisan achievements of the last 30yrs
- I’m disappointed, but not surprised by the Obama Admin's continued attempts to legislate via executive orders & bureaucratic regs
- Today in committee I voted to approve legislation that would stop the Obama Admin's overreach offering waivers for welfare work requirements
