I don't want to go to Washington to be a co-sponsor of some bland little bill nobody cares about. I don't want to go to Washington to get my name on something that makes small change at the margin.

Getting one bill passed is close to impossible. Ask any kid who has spent a summer in Washington, or better yet a semester, and can't understand how people tolerate its menu of constant frustration. Imagine mastering it.

For a bill to become law, it truly has to be the will of the people, and for a president to stop the will of the people and stop what you're trying to do in your state is not the role of Washington.

But we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.

We have to remember there is not a big printing press in Washington that continually prints money over and over.

I do not want to stay in Washington.

Obamacare comes to more than two thousand pages of rules, mandates, taxes, fees, and fines that have no place in a free country.

There is no such thing as a federal personhood bill.

Two million dollars is only small when you're talking about Washington, D.C.

Conservation is an American value, and it is lacking from this bill.
