    Feb 4, 2010  - Madam Speaker, two points I would like to make. One is this is not the same statutory pay-as-you-go as was in effect in the 1990s.

  • Lummis: Pelosi Health Care Bill Worst Ever
    Nov 3, 2009  - Mr. Speaker, I lament hearing that people who attend TEA parties are somehow uninformed or misinformed Americans.
