Madam Speaker, Before Being Elected To Congress,

I Believe The Only Measure Of Government Response Shouldn't Be How Much We Spend On A Situation, But Rather How Well We Spend.

By Offering Individuals Ownership And Control Of Their Health Care Coverage, We Return Control To The Patients; And That Is Exactly Where It Should Be.

Guantanamo Bay Houses Enemy Combatants Ranging From Terrorist Trainers And Recruiters To Bomb Makers, Would-be Suicide Bombers, And Terrorist Financiers.

We Are A Nation That Seeks Out Solutions And Refuses To Ignore Challenges.

I Believe It's Time To Put Our Best Ideas On The Table And Work Toward A Bipartisan Solution, With The Single Goal Of Leaving The Social Security System Stronger Than We Found It.
