- I was honored to work with members of the Texas GOP delegation in the 112th Congress. I wish the best of luck to all who are not returning in the 113th, and look forward to continue to work on making our country, and our state, a better place to live.

I thought long and hard on the fiscal cliff vote, and ultimately decided it was not in the best interest of our country. Here's my statement, explaining why. Thanks to everyone who called, wrote, and posted here on facebook to share your opinions.Congressman Randy Neugebauer shared a link.
Tonight I voted against a pay raise for Congress and Federal government employees. In 2011, Congress put a pay freeze in place to stop automatic cost-of-living increases. H.R. 6726 extends the pay freeze through 2013.- My Washington office is open today, and my staff can take your calls on the fiscal cliff at 202-225-4005. I'll also be checking your comments on my facebook page, so please feel free to share your thoughts on the latest news here.
- As we close out 2012, I know there are a lot of questions about the fiscal cliff, the farm bill, and the President's executive order on a pay raise for federal employees. Read the Roundup for the latest information on each of those issues. I'll keep you updated as more information becomes available. And have a happy and blessed new year in 2013.
- On Dec. 31, we will hit our $16.394 trillion debt limit. Can't imagine that much debt? Try this:
1. If you laid $1 bills end–to-end, the national debt would stretch between the Earth and the sun more than 16 times.
2. A stack of 16 trillion dollar bills, laid flat on top of each other, packed down with no space between them would go past Mt. Everest, out of the stratosphere, past the international space station, past the moon, around the far side, and back twice. So Calling it "mountains" of debt is quite literally an understatement.
3. $16 trillion in dollar bills laid out flat would carpet the entire states of Florida, Delaware, and Rhode Island. - Bad weather in West Texas - stay safe and stay off the roads if you can.
