Kristi Noem Merry Christmas South Dakota
2011-12-25 00:47:00 When you hear the bell ringing, you know it is Christmas morning. At least that?s the way it is in the Noem house. When my kids, Kassidy, Kennedy and Booker, hear me ringing the special bell outside their bedrooms on Christmas morning they know it?s time to get up and start enjoying the special day. (I?m scared to think about how early they might get up if it weren?t for the bell.) Every family, or group of friends, has holiday traditions that make this time of year so special.On Christmas Eve, every year, we go to the home of my husband Bryon?s aunt with most of his family for oyster stew, then to church. The next morning starts with the bell ringing, then gifts and breakfast. The afternoon is usually spent with my family having fun outside on snowmobiles and sleds.Every year I?m reminded of how blessed we are to have so much of our family around us for the holiday season. For me, celebrating the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ, with our dearest loved ones is the best gift i... More About: South , South Dakota

I am glad to be home in Tennessee to celebrate with my family. In my first year in office I have learned that often what goes on in Washington is simply a distraction when compared to what really matters in this great nation of ours. It is being around the table with your family and celebrating the birth of Christ that truly matters. There will always be time for politics, but let?s celebrate this time together and remember the true reason for the season," Fleischmann said.### Dec 24, 2011 Issues: Congressional Issues TEXT and IMAGE CREDIT: Congressman Chuck Fleischmann Washington, DC 511 Cannon HOB Washington, DC 20515 Phone: (202) 225-3271 Fax: (202) 225-3494 Hours: Monday-Friday 9:00AM-5:00PM Eastern time More About: Wishes

John Boehner Senate passed, short-term payroll tax cut extension is burdens
2011-12-22 22:57:00 John Boehner Senate passed, short-term payroll tax cut extension is burdensome and unworkable VIDEO TEXT TRANSCRIPTWashington (Dec 22) At a press conferences with Republican leaders and House payroll tax cut negotiators today, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) reiterated that the Senate-passed, short-term payroll tax cut extension is burdensome and unworkable for American job creators, and will not provide the level of tax relief American families need in this struggling economy. Speaker Boehner once again called on Senate Democrats to work with Republicans on a long-term extension and ?solve this problem so that American workers don?t see their taxes go up in January.? Following are video and text of Speaker Boehner?s remarks.?Yesterday, I spoke with President Obama. I urged him to call on Senator Reid to work with us to finish this bill that will provide for one year of tax relief for American workers.

John Boehner., We?re here. We?re ready to go to work to Extend Full-Year Pa
2011-12-22 02:41:00 Speaker Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) met with the eight House Republican negotiators appointed to work with Senate Democrats on extending payroll tax relief for a full year. Boehner said Senate Democrats should appoint negotiators too and help prevent a tax hike on middle class families -- without hurting small business job creators, as the short-term Senate bill would do:Last week, the House passed a bipartisan bill extending payroll tax relief for a full year. The bill reformed and extended unemployment insurance for a full year, protected Social Security, and would help create new jobs as well. After Senate Democrats passed a short-term two month bill, the House voted to start negotiating with the Senate now so this important matter could be resolved before the end of the year.Unfortunately, Senate Democrats have so far refused to appoint negotiators. As Speaker Boehner wrote this morning in USA Today, ?We hope the president, who has repeatedly said he won't go... More About: Work , John , Full

Dave Camp Statement on H.R. 3630 Conference Committee Appointment
2011-12-21 00:57:00 Washington, DC ? Today, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) appointed Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) to serve on a Conference Committee to be made up of House and Senate members to resolve differences over H.R. 3630, The Middle Class Tax Relief & Job Creation Act."I urge my Democrat colleagues to quickly appoint conferees so we can ensure middle-class families are not hit with a tax increase next year, the unemployed do not have their benefits expire and seniors do not see the reimbursement rates for their doctors slashed. The only thing standing in the way of completing this bill is the Senate?s refusal to come back from vacation, appoint conferees and do the work the American people sent us here to do. Americans lucky enough to have a job in this economy are not on vacation, and Congress shouldn?t be either.?###CONTACT: House Committee on Ways & Means: 1101 Longworth HOB, Washington, D.C. 20515 Phone (202) 225-3625 Fax (202) 225-2610 Jim Billimoria, Michel...

2011-12-19 23:32:00 Statement of the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Committee on Ethics Regarding the Matter of Representative Maxine Waters.The Committee on Ethics has voted unanimously to extend the contract of William R. Martin to continue his service as outside counsel to the Committee in the matter of Representative Maxine Waters. The Committee?s goal has been and remains to resolve this matter as expeditiously as possible, but due to unavoidable delays, additional time is needed for outside counsel to complete his initial review and report his findings and conclusions to the full Committee, which will then determine whether the matter should proceed. The Committee?s decision to extend the contract does not indicate that the Committee has made any findings or reached any conclusions, or reflect any judgment on behalf of the Committee. In July 2011, the Committee announced that it had retained Mr. Martin to review, advise, and assist the Committee in completing this matter. The decision t...

I'm John Barrasso, United States Senator for Wyoming.As we begin the holiday season, we're reminded of those who are far from home serving our country in the military. We've welcomed many back home, but there are still men and women in dangerous places protecting our freedoms and keeping us safe.This Thanksgiving, I had the special opportunity to visit Wyoming National Guard troops deployed overseas. We talked about their mission and their hopes for the future.What these soldiers were most concerned about was whether they would be able to find a good job when they return.Here at home, Republicans are working on legislation that will make it easier and cheaper for the private sector to create jobs for all Americans.For example, the creation of the Keystone Pipeline, a shovel-ready American energy project. It will create as many as 20,000 construction jobs and 100,000 indirect jobs and it w... More About: Video , Podcast , Text

Democrats Should Stop Holding Government Funding Hostage VIDEO
2011-12-15 02:21:00 Washington (Dec 14) At a press conference with GOP leaders, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) called on President Obama and Senate Democrats to end the threat of a government shutdown by allowing a bipartisan funding agreement to move forward:?It?s pretty clear to all of us that President Obama and Senator Reid want to threaten a government shutdown so that they can get leverage on a jobs bill because the United States Senate can?t pass one. We?ve got an agreement between appropriators in the House and the Senate ? Democrats and Republicans ? on a bipartisan bill to fund our government. We believe that the responsible thing to do is to move this.?I?m tired of hearing what the Senate can?t do. I think it?s time for us to wait and see what the Senate can do.
