Thank you for visiting my web site. The debate continues in Washington on how best to get our economy back on track and increase access to healthcare in a fiscally responsible way. I remain committed to accomplishing both these goals without imposing more taxes on working families and small businesses. As part of the Republican effort to propose positive alternatives, I have introduced the Fair and Simple Tax Act which would help employers, large and small, hire more workers and keep job creation here at home. It would also give families the flexibility to purchase their own healthcare coverage and keep it, even if they move or change jobs. These are some simple steps we could take without adding to the federal deficit, which has expanded dramatically in the last few months alone. Unfortunately, the Democratic Majority has put forward proposals that will result in lost jobs and a government takeover of our healthcare system. I don't want that, and having heard from so many of you, I know you don't either. We will continue fighting for positive, responsible proposals to solve our country's problems. I appreciate your support and look forward to hearing from you on these and other issues.
