Once More Unto the Breach
By: Congressman Tom Price (Diary) | March 3rd at 09:25 AM |
As you read this, President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Senator Reid are lining up their troops to drag their government takeover of health care across the finish line. This is no easy task considering how strongly the American people have objected. Even so, they are absolutely determined to jam this through with an iron fist regardless of the electoral consequences. Some of you may be | Read More »
One Year Later, No Sign of Stimulus’ Immediate Jolt
By: Congressman Tom Price (Diary) | February 17th at 12:55 PM |
The Democrats’ $862 billion stimulus bill turns a year old today, but don’t fret if you didn’t get a party invitation. Most Americans haven’t seen much in the past year of stimulus worth celebrating. Democrats claimed their stimulus bill would have an immediate impact on job creation and the economy. Clearly, that was ridiculous. Just take a look at the bill – it’s mostly a | Read More »
The Reducing Barack Obama’s Unsustainable Deficit Act
By: Congressman Tom Price (Diary) | July 9th at 03:30 PM |
Jobs are being lost everyday, the deficit continues to explode and the American people are angry. It’s now been six months since President Obama moved into the White House and in that short time, we have seen all his economic policies fall flat on their face. The unemployment rate has skyrocketed to 9.5%, and the stimulus package has been defined by delays, fraud, and poor | Read More »

Yesterday, the Majority elected to remove that protection. There is no place | Read More »
Televise the House-Senate Negotiations
By: Congressman Tom Price (Diary) | February 11th at 09:38 AM |
Just over two years ago, when Democrats gained the majority on Capitol Hill, Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised to run the most open Congress in history. And President Obama made providing the most transparent government a central promise of his campaign. As the House and Senate move to negotiate the final text of the so-called stimulus bill, I have called on Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority | Read More »
The “Speak-In” Continues
By: Congressman Tom Price (Diary) | August 26th at 08:02 AM |
Twenty-five days ago, an arrogant act by Speaker Pelosi as she exercised her iron-fisted control over the House resulted in the initiation of our ‘Speak-In’. She cut off the microphones, turned off the cameras, and shutdown the House in an attempt to silence the voices of representatives of millions of Americans. Pelosi stopped debate because she knew she would lose if she allowed a vote. | Read More »
Recess Revolution
By: Congressman Tom Price (Diary) | August 7th at 08:26 AM |
It is rare that one gets a chance to realize the historic nature of a series of events while they are still ongoing – to watch history unfold before your very eyes. But, this is one of those times. We need not look back in reflection to see how the winds of change are sweeping through America this week. With the nation more despondent with | Read More »
