Thanks very much to those of you who were able to tune in yesterday, and for your comments.

“Provide for the common defense.” This responsibility was so important that it was one of the few directives that our Founding Fathers gave to Congress in our Constitution. As a result, our United States military is the strongest and most effective force on earth. However, for perhaps the first time in our history, that standing is in jeopardy.
KEEP READING in this week's column:- Today we remember the "gallant men who gave their lives" on December 7, 1941 and the generation of heroes that they inspired to answer the call to serve our nation that day. Their legacy lives on as the greatest generation America has ever known.
- Some of team GA-08 at tonight's Capitol Christmas tree lighting. Speaker Boehner referred to this year's tree as a "light in the darkness."
- Our office was glad to help again this year with the MarineCorpsUSA's annual #ToysForTots drive. Thank you to all our service men and women who answer the call to serve those in need every day.

"...the focus of the President’s speeches these past few weeks has been solely on his plan to raise taxes. What he’s not telling the American people is that his plan would fund our government for a mere eight days – eight days!
We did not...get into this scenario because Washington didn’t tax enough. We are in this current situation because Washington continues to spend too much."See More
