What I want the Congress of the United States to do, and frankly what I would like to see the President of the United States of America do, is speak a word of support to the people of Iran.
Average Americans in all 50 states are reaching into their pocketbooks and investing in relief and recovery efforts. The power and symbol of members of Congress doing that, regardless of the size of the contribution, could be very important.
Our founders insisted that protecting the states' power to govern themselves was vital to limit the power of Washington and preserve freedom.
It is not for the State Department or even the Secretary of State to say when and how the resources of the American people will be spent.
It is a tragedy indeed that new generations, taking office, attribute failures in governance to insufficient power, and seek more of it.
To those who say it would be too difficult to repeal and replace Obamacare, I say it's a two step process. We repeal the Pelosi Congress in 2010 and replace the Obama Administration in 2012.
Several millennia ago, the words were written that a man should leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. It was not our idea; it was God's idea.
I strongly oppose the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. We must stand for the right of every American to practice their faith according to the dictates of their conscience, whether it be in the public square or in the workplace.
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act in Indiana does not give anyone the right to deny services to anyone in this state. It is simply a balancing test used by our federal courts and jurisdictions across the country for more than two decades.
Years ago on my radio show, I used to say, 'I'm a conservative, but I'm not in a bad mood about it.' I've always believed that civility in heavy doses is essential in self-government.
The American economy has been built and sustained by risk-taking entrepreneurs whose pioneering ideas and hard work gave birth to flourishing businesses.
We want to make it clear that Indiana's open for business. We want to make it clear that Hoosier hospitality is not a slogan, it's our way of life. It's the reason why people come here from around the world and they come back again and again. Because Hoosiers are the kindest, most generous, most decent people in the world.
We have no higher stewardship, no higher calling than to come onto this floor and into this chamber and make the tough decisions.
We must ensure that a catastrophe of nature does not become a catastrophe of debt for our children and grandchildren.
