- The U.S. Constitution is under assault by many people - both foreign and domestic - who seek to transform it to fit their own ideologies.

- SHOCKING VIDEO: Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez REFUSES to affirm 1st Amendment rights - http://t.co/Bb9ywpN8
- 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.

- 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.
