Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas! I hope you had a wonderful time with family this past weekend. We are so blessed here in the United States and it is a privilege to be able to celebrate the birth of Jesus during this Christmas season.
NO on $1.7 Trillion Bloated Omnibus Spending Bill The American people sent a message by electing a Republican majority in the House. It's time for fiscal responsibility and pro-growth policies that will restore economic strength.
