- "Rep. Martha Roby says president's sequestration plan is just another tax increase" from @LeadaGore http://t.co/3Gy6eVniHU
- The President is wrong - we can't tax our way out of the #sequester, and we can't tax our way out of debt. Spending is the real problem.
- A recent CBO report showed that the federal government will take in more revenue than ever before...$2.7 trillion dollars.
- The President sees his #sequester as a chance to push across yet another tax increase, even though taxes just went up earlier this year.
- The sequester cuts are too much, too fast - there is a smarter way to cut spending, like the 2 House passed bills to offset the #sequester
- Visited Maxwell AFB yesterday to talk #sequester. The @MGMAdvertiser got it right with the headline: "Under the ax" http://t.co/jOUP3MfsZF

- We're calling on Senate & Pres to come together now to replace the #sequester — not with more tax increases, but with better, smarter cuts
- The House has already voted twice to replace the president’s #sequester with targeted spending cuts based on real budget priorities.
- #Sequester was Pres Obama's plan. That matters, not b/c of who should get the blame, but b/c of who should be leading the effort to fix it
- I hope you'll read my most recent OpEd in the @MGMAdvertiser about the devastating effects of #sequester - http://t.co/QextGTcW

- Taking part in a House Armed Services Committee (@HASCRepublicans) hearing with the Joint Chiefs on the potential impact of #sequestration.
- I will be joining House leadership this morning to discuss the President's sequestration military cuts and his love for tax increases.
- @BamaJD thank you, Judd! So nice to connect with you and @TonyaTerry from Washington. See you soon!
- Joining @WTVY news live from Washington right now to give my reaction to the President's speech. Tune in!
- Will be joining @wsfa12news live from Washington @ 6:30 central to discuss the President's speech last night and the latest on sequestration
- A larger federal government, more spending, and higher taxes aren't the answer. My reaction to tonight's #SOTU http://t.co/a3aqeChV
- Show’s over. Didn’t hear credible plan to get control of debt. Speech mostly based in liberal ideology, not fiscal reality #notserious #SOTU
- How can we work together to fix the debt problem if others deny it exists? "Obama: Job of debt reduction nearly done" http://t.co/OVxsgWFk
- Congratulations to General Dunford on taking command of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.
- Unconscionable that our Commander-in-Chief would use our military &national security as leverage in his ideological crusade for higher taxes
- President Obama proposed the #sequester, then said it wouldn't happen, and now he is using it as an opportunity to raise taxes even more.
- But the Senate never acted on those bills, and the President refuses to provide serious leadership on this issue.
- I've twice voted for House-passed plans to replace the military #sequester w/ targeted, reasonable reductions based on our budget priorities
- There is a smarter way to reduce govt spending than to slash the military budget & hollow out defense forces #sequester http://t.co/x5EgE1qr
- One of my primary goals in Congress is to sniff out excess spending and burdensome regulations to rein in the size and scope of government.
- You can read the report and keep up with the job-killing regulations and unnecessary red tape here: http://t.co/L7bDFFJR
- 127 million hours! That’s how much time will be required of Americans in order to fully comply with Obamacare according to a new report.
- Happy Birthday President Reagan! I love this press conference picture with his portrait in the background. http://t.co/xefWNi4m
- I don’t think it’s a lot to ask to #RequireAPlan of the Commander-in-Chief given the enormous fiscal challenges before us.
- We know the President disagrees with our approach, but he’s yet to offer his plan to solve our short-term and long-term budget issues.
- That’s what we voted for today in the House– to #RequireAPlan from Pres Obama for how he intends to get our nation back to fiscal stability.
- Our country is deeply in debt, and like any individual or family that finds itself upside down financially, we need a plan to get out.
- Sequestration is real, and it’s coming. It’s past time President Obama & Senate Democrats got serious about their plan to replace it.
- Just this morning I met with Army aviation commanders who illustrated how serious the consequences of sequester cuts are for our military
- It doesn’t have to be this complicated. The problem is they see every decision as an opportunity to raise taxes, and that’s unfortunate
- If the Pres & Senate Dems disagree w/ our sequester replacement plan, they should come up with their own so we can hammer out an agreement
- The House has twice passed a reasonable plan to replace arbitrary sequester cuts w/ targeted cuts that align with the nation’s priorities
- Rather than start a blame game, Pres O & Senate Dems should join us in actually trying to solve the sequester problem http://t.co/y5Savu5T
- Busy morning! Will be sure to post pics later. Now to Education & Workforce hearing on challenges &opportunities facing school & workplace
- Live on Fox News now to thank all the law enforcement officers and first responders who worked so hard to bring Ethan home safe.
- I pray the terror he sought to inflict is ceaselessly overcome by the outpouring of love, hope & kindness from Dale Co & around the world
- Senseless doesn’t begin to describe this individual’s actions.
- And thank you to the local, state & federal law enforcement who have worked around the clock for almost a week to rescue this little boy
- While we rejoice over the child’s safety, let’s also honor the heroism of Charles Poland, the bus driver who stood between Dykes & the kids
- As a mother of two young children, it is especially horrifying to imagine what fear Ethan & his family have been living in this past week
- I thank God that Ethan is safe and that this terrible situation is finally over. http://t.co/zuNsEhGF
