The world is starving for American leadership. But America has an anti-war president.
We all must be mindful that the United States has diplomatic, civilian, and military personnel deployed in other countries with both challenging security environments and active terrorist networks interested in targeting not just our facilities but our people.

We ought to be judged on how many laws we repeal.

Our freedoms were born in the ideals of the Enlightenment and the musket fires of an historic revolution.
Earmarks have become a symbol of a Congress that has broken faith with the people. This earmark ban shows the American people we are listening and we are dead serious about ending business as usual in Washington.
I talked to a lot of employers who just are, are fearful of what's coming next out of Washington. It's all the spending, it's all the debt.
