POLITICAL NOTEBOOK: Woodall, Johnson on Petraeus' resignation
Issues: Defense and National Security
"I am saddened for Gen. Petraeus and his family, though my concern is for the security of America's classified information," U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall, R-Lawrenceville, said. "Gen. Petraeus remains a great soldier and one of the most dedicated defenders of freedom and liberty in our time, and he has promised Americans that his relationship created no breach of security at any time. What has always made Gen. Petraeus a great leader is his willingness to accept responsibility both in success and in failure. Knowing that, I take Gen. Petraeus at his word and hope that the FBI...

When it comes to health care, Georgia knows best
If you are a lover of liberty and freedom, you’ll agree that the last Thursday in June was a bad day for America. In its opinion, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the president’s takeover of health care by deciding that the U.S. Congress has virtually unlimited authority over the lives of Americans through its power of taxation. (Yes, this is just one more urgent reason to pass the FairTax, but I digress.) I was just as shocked as the rest of the nation when the court handed down its decision.

What Independence Day means 236 years later
The American way of life is, and always will be, based on freedom. Independence Day holds a special place in our nation's history, not only because it was the dawning of our independence from Great Britain, but also because it is a yearly reminder that we, the American people, are a free people.

WOODALL: The people will have final word on healthcare
I have great respect for the institution of the U.S. Supreme Court, though I absolutely reject the notion that President Obama's health care law is constitutional simply because Congress has the power to tax the American people. As important as all of the legalese in the Court's opinion, however, is a constant refrain of common sense among the Chief Justice's words: elections have consequences.
