Defense
The safety and security of our nation is always my top priority. Our men and women in uniform defended American interests abroad and spread freedom by ousting brutal regimes in Iraq and Afghanistan replacing them with functioning democracies that are now allies in the war on terror…
Second Amendment Rights
Thomas Jefferson said, “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms … disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes … Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man…
Foreign Affairs
For over 60 years, Israel has been America’s closest friend and ally in the Middle East. Our countries share a common commitment to democracy, freedom, and peace. Supporting Israel is a matter of personal conviction for me, and I believe one of the reasons God continues to bless our nation is that America has been a proverbial sword and shield for Israel…
Veterans
During his second inaugural address, President Lincoln instructed the country, “to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan.” I believe our nation has an obligation to care for our brave soldiers who were injured during battle and to provide for the families of those who gave their lives in service to their country…
Transparency
Record high spending bills are passing the House without any opportunity for Members of Congress and the American people to read the legislation. It is time to stop voting blind. Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA) and I introduced H.Res. 554, a resolution requiring the House of Representatives to make bills and conference reports available online for 72 hours before they are considered by the House. This resolution will enhance public participation in our democracy and help restore the public trust in government by raising the level of openness, order, and discourse…
Dear John,
Thank you for your email about tthe “Formal Gov’t Takeover of Healthcare”!
SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT EXCEPT WHINING WHILE THE DEMOCRATS EAT YOUR LUNCH!!!!
Am I Angry??You damn right I am!!
YOU HAVE AN EASY WAY TO STOP OBAMA ON HEALTHCARE, BUT ASK YOURSELF WHY YOU WON’T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT!!!!
Rep. Bart Stupak {A DEMOCRAT} has an amendment on ABORTION which OBAMA and his crew can’t stomach. All the Catholic Bishops in the US Catholic Bishop Conference are for STUPAK’S amendmendment!!! They are leading hundreds of millions of Catholics against the non-inclusive provision on ABORTION in the healthcare bill.
SO WHY ARE NOT ALL REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVES ALONG WITH STUPAK’S DEMOCRAT REPRESENTATIVES ABSOULUTELY STOPPING THE HEALTHCARE BILL!!!!
CUT YOUR WHINING AND DO SOME WORK YOU WERE SENT TO WASHINGTON TO DO!!!!
AM I MAD; YOU DAMN RIGHT I AM!!!!

Congressman Culberson,
Thank you for your ongoing opposition to both Cap & Trade, and the Democrats’ unconstitutional attempt to take over our nation’s health care system. Please keep up the good work, and step up your efforts to sway your fellow members of the House. I suspect the union of these states hangs in the balance.

Congressman Culberson,
Thank you for raising your voice against the Cap & Trade bill. I think this bill will do more harm to our country & economy than doing any good by raising power price, spending on new renewable power facilities, job losses in already matured power generation sources.
The best way for this country going forward is, to cut down gradually on traditional fossil sources & encourage renewable sources by tax cuts & other means rather than making policy changes that forces industries to shift suddenly.
Being a Texas resident, i share the same opinion as yours that this bill will do more harm to Texas, due to the fact that fossil fuel being a major power source in Texas.
One more thing, we have to bring developing nations to the table & engage them to commit for pollution reduction, because BRIC countries will be major sources in the next 20 years.
Thank you once again for standing to support Texas & US interests.

Congressman Culberson,
What is your position on Cap and Trade.
I feel it’s the EU ways of forcing the US to follow in their footsteps. This will not drive down emissions significantly and creates unfair competitive advantages.
I could go go with more detail, but this is not a good bill for America, our industries or the American people. It also opens the door for more larceny from Wall Street and institutions i.e. Al Gore.
