The Road Ahead Is Not Easy. Iraq

With My Support, The House Of Representatives Recently Voted To Permanently Repeal The Death Tax So That Family Farms And Businesses Can Be Passed Down To Children And Grandchildren.

Leaving Iraq Without Military Assistance During Its Transition, And Before It Is Stable Enough To Ensure Its Own Citizens' Security, Would Pose A Tremendous Risk. We Must Complete Our Mission.

Like Many Americans My Thoughts And Prayers Are With The People Of London. My Deepest Sympathies Are Extended To Those Who Lost A Loved One In The Recent Terror Attacks.

In Addition To Demanding Answers And Accountability From The Veterans Administration, Congress Had To Act To Ensure Veterans Do Not Suffer Because Of The Actions Of A Federal Agency.

In Six Short Years, Small Business Owners And Family Farmers Will Once Again Be Assessed A Tax On The Value Of Their Property At The Time Of Their Death, Despite Having Paid Taxes Throughout Their Lifetime.
