Much to Mr. Obama's chagrin, ours is not a government run by fiat. The American people will not simply roll over.

I signed on today as an original cosponsor on a resolution of no confidence in Eric Holder and a call for his resignation.

As I begin my 6th term, I pray for wisdom to represent well the Arizonans among whom I have made my home for 40 years.

As Mr. Obama crusades against the successful, we see a more advanced version of his bad ideas playing out in France:
http://t.co/A32WDp3d
"Tax rates are already high--much higher than is commonly understood--and increasing them will...depress the economy."

As Chair of the Missile Defense Caucus I'm very concerned that Mr. Obama remains on the sidelines on N. Korea and Iran.

I pray Mr. Obama proves me wrong and finally moves to fill the vacuum of leadership in the White House.

Any deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff" should include a Balanced Budget Amendment.

It has been over 1,300 days since Harry Reid and the Senate fulfilled their Constitutional responsibility and passed a budget.
So much for either bipartisanship or leadership:

Black Friday, indeed. The Friday after Thanksgiving marked the first time in history the U.S. debt has surpassed $16.3 trillion.
I introduced the SHIELD Act, which would harden America's unsecured electric grid, to address threats just like this:

If Susan Rice's actions don't rise to the level of warranting the loss of her post, one wonders just what it would take.
By again turning his back on bilateral talks, Mahmoud Abbas is placing yet another nail in the coffin of the Peace Process....

It is the sovereign right of Israel to defend herself against terrorism and to take decisive action to defend the lives of her citizens.
As Chairman of the Israel Allies Caucus, I was especially pleased today to pass a condemnation of Hamas' inexcusable, cowardly attacks.
"Never, never, never...give up." Winston Churchill
"Do not go where the path may lead, instead go where there is no path and leave a trail." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today I was awarded an 100% rating by the Business Coalition for @
FairCompetition
. I'll always stand by the small businesses of my district.
Earlier this summer, House Republicans passed 32 job-related bills that are still stalled in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
Today we remember the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation issuance by President Abraham Lincoln.
The sovereign citizens of America will demonstrate to Mr Obama that his arrogant declaration of supremacy over them is profoundly premature.
Government will never be better-suited to do for the American people what the American people can do for themselves.
Al Qaeda tried to destroy America's soul on 9/11, but utterly failed. May God continue to protect our country from those seeking to harm it.
According to Forbes Magazine, the American taxpayers may be experiencing another General Motors bankruptcy. Bailouts are never the answer.
#Obama
's words: he raided
#Medicare
on purpose to fund
#ObamaCare
. Now he ironically accuses
#GOP
of being anti-senior.

The U.S. Constitution is under assault by many people - both foreign and domestic - who seek to transform it to fit their own ideologies.
House Republicans have continuously voted for the repeal of
#ObamaCare
. We will continue to work towards that end until it is accomplished.
Democrats continue to block the Keystone pipeline, which would provide thousands of American jobs & lessen dependence on foreign oil.
#KXL
It is truly shameful behavior for President
#Obama
to be suing the state of Ohio to prevent easier access to early voting for the military!
Congratulations to my friend & colleague, Congressman Paul Ryan, on being selected by Gov Mitt Romney as the
#GOP
Vice Presidential nominee!
Last week, I, along with many of my House colleagues approved legislation to open up more offshore drilling for the United States!
Harry Reid is refusing to allow 32
#jobs
bills to come to an up-or-down vote in the Senate. It's time for Americans to be heard
#4jobs
!
It's time that President Obama, Harry Reid, & Nancy Pelosi realize that their big-government agenda is slowly killing our country's economy.
Months of inaction on bills
#4jobs
and Democrat-proposed tax hikes have led to another month with an unemployment rate increase.
#Israel
does not have to ask permission to defend itself against Iran. Israel should know that the United States stands with her always!
I agree wholeheartedly with my colleague @
RepCliffStearn
's desire to hold a public hearing on Planned Parenthood's operations.
#prolife
Today I voted against the Senate Democrats' proposal to raise taxes on the middle class. We need lower taxes, less govt!
#StopTheTaxHike
I am so pleased to be able to congratulate Luke Air Force Base on its selection as the Pilot Training Center for the F-35A Lightning II.
MUST-SEE IMAGE: The Obama Economy, Summed Up In One Picture. America cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama.

Shouldn't a
#jobs
council lead to more jobs? Not according to Mr.
#Obama
! He says he's too busy to meet with them!
Democrats would have the US people believe that Republicans do nothing for U.S.
#jobs
, even as Senate Democrats stall 32
#GOP
jobs bills!
What can I do for you? If you have issues with federal agencies, or if you have questions or comments, my office is here to help!
Given the unemployment rate, one would think Mr.
#Obama
would be meeting regularly with his
#jobs
council, but he isn't. Outrageous!

Jihadist terrorism seeks to conquer the world with fear. America seeks to set an example of freedom. Good will triumph over evil in the end.
America is susceptible to both natural and man-made Electromagnetic Pulses. I sponsored the Shield Act to protect our nation's power grid.
Mr.
#Obama
's actions and rhetoric prove that he does not stand for the American dream, and his apologies for America's greatness are flawed.
Today, I voted "Yes" on the
#AuditTheFed
bill in the U.S. House. We need transparency in government - especially at the Federal Reserve.
I support the @
ConnieMackIV
Penny Plan, which would impose automatic spending cuts to balance the budget and set a spending cap!
President
#Obama
is far too preoccupied with making apologies for America's greatness.
Mr.
#Obama
promised to transform America. He did so by initiating policies that have contributed to raising the poverty level to new highs.
The United States of America will never have a greater friend and ally than Israel. We Americans stand with Israel against terrorism!
A majority of American small business are opposed to
#ObamaCare
. For the sake of business success in this country, we must repeal ObamaCare!
I oppose the use of Sharia Law in the United States Judicial system. We are sworn to adhere to the Constitution, nothing else.
#tcot
The experience of the UK, Canada, & France should teach us about the perils of the government controlling the health care industry.
President Ronald Reagan's unique way with words is still relevant today: "I've noticed everyone who is for abortion has already been born.”
House Republicans have a plan for fiscal responsibility: cut, cap and balance. Senate Democrats haven't passed a budget in over 1,100 days.
Our country will remain only as strong as the families within its borders.
President
#Obama
has utterly failed to lead America. Instead of inspiring confidence and pride, he has fostered fear.
#change
My Republican colleagues have passed 32 job-related bills out of the House to help Americans. Senate Democrats have stalled all of the bills
A great tragedy struck
#Aurora
, Colorado last night in the
#theatershooting
. May God comfort the families of the victims in their sorrow.
President
#Obama
has consistently alienated our closest friends and emboldened our most radical enemies.
We stand in solidarity with the people of
#Israel
. The cowardly attacks in Bulgaria demonstrate why Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon.
If the United States does not take our spending disease seriously, we will see our children suffer for the tough choices we refused to make.
If, in fact, all the abortions in America have murdered innocent human life, then we have witnessed the greatest genocide in world history.
Americans deserve better than
#Obamacare
, the
#Obama
economy and the Obama deficits. Come November, Americans will make their voices heard!

All men & women who put on the uniform of our country are true American heroes. Those who have died wearing that uniform did not die in vain
My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Army Staff Sgt Carl Eric Hammar. Their sacrifice - and Carl's - will never be forgotten.
My heart is saddened tonight upon hearing the news that Army Staff Sgt Carl Eric Hammar of Arizona was killed in Afghanistan last weekend.
President
#Obama
's belief that government, not hard work, creates business success again proves that he is out of touch with Americans.
I have news for President
#Obama
: hard work by the American people DOES create business success. Government does not!
Mr.
#Obama
has never run a business in his life, yet he arrogantly says business owners shouldn't be credited for their businesses' success.
I'm encouraged to see the House of Representatives fulfill its intended role as the body closest to, and most representative of, Americans.
I joined my colleagues today in successfully voting to overturn Obamacare and will continue to work to strip the law's funding.
I personally witnessed Eric Holder's contradictions when I questioned him last year over Operation Fast and Furious:

On July 11, the House will vote for a
#fullrepeal
of
#Obamacare
. On November 6, the American people will vote for a
#fullrepeal
of Mr. Obama
The Supreme Court had their say today, but make no mistake: come the first Tuesday of November, the American people will have theirs.
