The American people have the right to know what is in this legislation and, more importantly, what impact it will have on middle-class families and small businesses. In just an hour, we raised serious questions about the true consequences of this legislation for Americans’ jobs and all of our economy." http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=134826 http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=134826 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT “Our troops defend our freedom each and every day, and they deserve strong bipartisan support in Congress as we take the fight to the terrorists and other threats to America and our allies. I am pleased Congress has again given this legislation strong support on both sides of the aisle. I am disappointed that Democrats blocked a Republican proposal to restore critical missile defense funding that would strengthen our defense against threats from North Korea and other rogue regimes who want to harm our troops and our citizens." http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=134456 http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=134456 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT “Vice President Biden’s trip to an area of Ohio that’s been devastated by job losses the same week that congressional Democrats plan to bring a national energy tax up for a vote proves that the Administration and Speaker Pelosi’s House are both sadly out of touch with the American people. The new energy tax is a massive job-killer that will hit Ohio during one of its worst times. With unemployment at a record-breaking 10.8 percent and the state hemorrhaging jobs, the Vice President should tell Ohioans how the Administration plans to stimulate the private sector to create jobs instead of making the federal government bigger and more intrusive.” http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=133624 http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=133624 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT "House Republicans have a better plan to reduce costs, expand access, and increase the quality of care in a way that Americans can afford. Our plan focuses on innovative preventive and wellness programs to help avoid serious, and costly, illnesses. It gives states tools to design innovative programs that make health care coverage more affordable for everyone, while providing more Americans incentives to buy health care they cannot afford now. Our proposal allows small businesses to band together and provide insurance for their employees at a lower cost, just as large corporations and unions do. And it roots out waste, fraud, and abuse that costs taxpayers billions, while reining in junk lawsuits that make health care more costly for everyone." http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=132758 http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=132758 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT “Let’s be clear: The troop funding bill would be law right now if Democrats stopped playing politics with it. A bipartisan majority in the House and Senate supported a clean troop funding bill last month, and that coalition still exists today. Unfortunately, Democratic leaders decided the bailouts here in America weren’t enough. They’ve insisted on including a $108 billion global bailout in a bill that is supposed to fund the troops." http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=132695 http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=132695 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=132696 http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=132696 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT “The stated intent of the so-called stimulus package was to create jobs, and certainly a $57 million slush-fund studying projects did nothing to achieve that goal. With Ohio’s unemployment rate the highest it’s been in 25 years, I’m pleased that federal officials stepped in to order Ohio to use all of its construction dollars for shovel-ready projects that will create much-needed jobs.” http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=132281 http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=132281 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 22:30:00 GMT “House Republicans want to work with President Obama on a plan to make health care more affordable and accessible for all Americans. We’re pleased the President has expressed rhetorical support for medical liability reform, but fact is the effect of even the strongest medical liability reforms would be negated by a government takeover of health care that raises taxes, rations care, and drives health care costs even higher." http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=132210 http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=132210 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT “This is the first step in the Democrats’ plan to import terrorists into America. Without a plan to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, the Administration has made the decision to begin transferring these terrorists into the United States, in spite of the overwhelming opposition of the American people and serious questions from Members of Congress of both parties. There are more than 200 of the world’s most dangerous men held at the Guantanamo Bay prison. Does the Administration plan to transfer all of them into our nation in this way? Do they plan to give them the same legal rights as the American people? Just what is the Administration’s plan for closing this prison?" http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=131442 http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=131442 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT “The so-called stimulus package has been a disaster in the Buckeye State, yet the Strickland administration is looking for more federal dollars to spend. While hundreds of thousands of Ohioans remain out of work and companies leaving the state, the administration continues to refuse to set up an independent, bipartisan oversight board to ensure Ohioans that their precious dollars are being spent appropriately. If Gov. Strickland’s administration refuses to submit to this scrutiny, why should taxpayers agree to entrust them with millions of dollars more?” http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=131514 http://boehner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=131514 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT
