- As a father and grandfather, I am heartbroken at the tragedy in Newtown today. No parent, child, or community should have to suffer such devastation and overwhelming grief. All my thoughts and prayers are with their families today.

In Case You Missed It: Gingrey Presses Social Security Administration on Procedures for Deferred Action Recipients- Our national debt, already at $16 trillion, continues to explode. If Washington does not chart a new course, by 2016, it will balloon to $22 trillion dollars. Rather than reining in federal spending, President Obama requested unchecked authority to continuing borrowing money from China and offered no specifics on spending cuts or entitlement reforms. Republicans aren’t simply fighting for taxpayers today—we are fighting for the futures of our children and grandchildren.

This Week From Washington:Obamacare's Catastrophic Impact- On the 71st anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, we pay tribute to the 2,390 service members and 49 civilians who made the ultimate sacrifice. May we remember our courageous service members and veterans today and every day. In the words of President Reagan, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” God bless the men and women who have fought, and continue to fight, to preserve it.
- Despite President Obama’s promise to cut our debt in half, he’s doubled down on his policy of out-of-control spending, bloated government, and refusal to address entitlement reforms. With $16 trillion in national debt and Medicare and Social Security on the brink of insolvency, we must act now to safeguard these programs for our children and grandchildren. The fiscal cliff can be averted—without raising taxes—through pro-growth reform and without compromising our principles.
