  • President Obama must focus on goals and roles
    Nov 9, 2010  - In an interview with "60 Minutes" on Sunday, President Obama called last week's midterm elections, which saw Republicans take over the House and gain six seats in the Senate, a “shellacking." In the same interview, the president blamed the election results on his failure to properly convince the A... More
  • Bring On Obama's E-Team 2.0, Please
    Oct 22, 2010  - Columnist George Will aptly described the Obama administration as "implacably hostile toward free enterprise." One example of this its crusade to arbitrarily demonize American couples who make more than $250,000 as rich, greedy and unworthy. Couples who make less than $250,000 per year are encourag... More
  • Free job creators to put millions back to work
    Oct 18, 2010  - Two years after President Barack Obama promised hope and change, Americans will visit the polls again. Fewer Americans have jobs, Washington spending is out of control and deficits and the debt have exploded. September’s stagnant 9.6 percent jobless rate adds up to four months straight of falling j...

  • Obama’s War on Coal
    Aug 19, 2010  - It’s no secret that President Obama is not a fan of coal. That’s an understatement. If there ever was a question about the Administration’s feelings on coal, it’s simple – just take a look at the people the President has hired to carry out his agenda. “Coal is my worst nightmare.” This stat...

  • Missouri Got It Right
    Aug 6, 2010  - Over the August district work period, I am meeting with the doctors and staff of hospitals all over Wyoming about how they are preparing for the impact of Obamacare. As experts continue to unveil more of the bill’s repercussions, it’s becoming clearer why this 3,000-page bill that affects every Amer... More
  • The Fate of Our Forests Should Not Be a Political Calculation
    Jul 19, 2010  - Recovering and protecting our forests in Wyoming and the West should be something we can all agree on. But as the bark beetle infestation claims acre after acre of our forests, there’s no doubt the Obama Administration can hear the beetle-killed trees fall; they simply choose to ignore the sound. ...

  • America’s Debt Crisis Won’t Fix Itself
    Jun 26, 2010  - Americans budget and plan how to spend their hard-earned money every day. They expect nothing less of Washington. But the Congressional Majority in Congress has a different idea about one of its most fundamental responsibilities. Recently, the Democratic leadership announced it will forgo crafting a... More
  • A Weekend to Reflect
    May 28, 2010  - We gather with our loved ones this Memorial Day to honor those serving, those who served and those who died fighting for our freedom in defense of our country. They are shining examples of what America stands for: freedom, bravery and liberty. I had the great privilege to see the exceptional wor... More
  • No Budget, No Problem?
    Apr 19, 2010  - Every two years the Wyoming Legislature adopts a new budget.  If the Legislature decided not to adopt a budget this year because the economy made budget decision-making too tough, Wyoming voters would be justifiably incensed. Yet this is precisely what is being discussed in Washington. When as... More
  • We Need Fiscal Discipline in Washington and Tax Relief for Americans
    Apr 15, 2010  - As people in Wyoming and all Americans finish filing their taxes today, they, and many generations after them face an increasing and unsustainable mountain of federal debt. When Washington expects taxpayers to foot the bill for its extensive liberal agenda, there is a lot less remaining for families... More
