  1. It was true then, and it's true now. We need a balanced approach to the fiscal cliff that includes spending cuts. Raising taxes on the American people won't solve our problem.

    re of how hard it is to run a small business. Unfortunately, the President’s insistence on raising taxes on these job creators will be burdensome and harmful to their operations. Small businesses are the engine of our economy and House Republicans continue to have their back.

  9. MY OP-ED ON THE FISCAL CLIFF:

    "Before I came to Congress, I was a small business owner. I started a deli in my hometown of Bakersfield, Calif., that I creatively named 'Kevin O’s.' As any small business owner knows, starting a business is ...
    not glamorous work. I made the deli countertop in my garage with my dad, and counted on my friends and family to 'volunteer' their labor until I could afford to pay them. While it wasn’t a gold mine, people in Bakersfield seemed to like the sandwiches and after a couple of years I was able to sell the business so I could go to college."

  12. HEARING FROM SMALL BUSINESSES - Small businesses employ the majority of Americans and will be the most adversely affected by a tax hike. This is why, on Wednesday, I'm hosting a meeting with GOP leaders and small business owners to hear their solutions to the fiscal cliff.

  16. ENSURING SMALL BUSINESSES CAN GROW - As we continue to move to solve the fiscal cliff the one thing we need to make sure of is that small business can grow and hire. As America’s largest job creators, we cannot afford to hurt small business growth.
  17. HEARING FROM BUSINESS LEADERS TODAY - We had a constructive conversation in which we exchanged ideas on how best to solve the ‘fiscal cliff.' Everyone in the room is committed to reaching an agreement that will prevent us from going over the cliff by spurring economic growth and reducing the debt burden on hard-working Americans. If the President truly wants a ‘balanced approach,’ the White House must outline cuts and reforms to address Washington’s out-of-control federal spending.

  18. DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH TAXES ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH - A balanced approach to deficit reduction includes spending cuts and revenue increasing tax reforms, but we're still waiting to hear what the President has to offer.

    "LIKE" if you want to see the President's spending cuts.
  19. LET'S GO BAKERSFIELD RENEGADES!!

    I'm so proud of the BC Renegades (my alma mater) whose big win on Saturday night sends them to the state championship game against City College of San Francisco on Dec. 8.

    Join me in congratulating our Bakersfield Renegades on making it to the state finals.
  20. $5.5 BILLION SPENT SHOPPING SMALL ON SMALL BIZ SATURDAY - According to an NFIB survey, appx. $5.5 billion was spent this Saturday at local businesses.

    Share and "LIKE" if you support your local small businesses!!
  21. BRINGING BUSINESS OWNERS INTO THE CONVERSATION - On Wednesday, I'll be joined by Speaker Boehner, Leader Cantor and a roundtable of CEO's to discuss a balanced approach to solving this crisis that won't destroy American jobs.
  22. AMERICANS DESERVE A BALANCED SOLUTION TO FISCAL CLIFF - By both raising new revenue through reforming the tax code AND reigning in government spending we can avert this crisis and help grow the economy.

  24. From me and my family, we wish you a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving! We are truly blessed to live in this great nation.

    To our men and women serving overseas -- it's sacrifices at times like these that we are so thankful for.

    Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers during the holiday week.

    Safe travels and Happy Thanksgiving!
