- RT @SenJohnThune: Applaud House passage of bill to approve #KeystoneXL. President has blocked the project & its 20,000 #jobs for 1,706 days.
- The House just passed HR 3, the Northern Route Approval Act, which would finally lead to the creation of the Keystone Pipeline. #TimeToBuild
- 1,706 days. That's how many days President Obama has had to approve the Keystone Pipeline. But he has failed to lead. #TimeToBuild
- George and I stopped by the @the_USO event today to make military care packages. George loved seeing Cookie Monster! http://t.co/g9TND4wXOL
- #Education policy should be left to our local teachers, parents, and officials who know our kids best, not DC bureaucrats.
- As a parent of a child in public school, I support AL's efforts to raise our education standards, but Washington shouldn't stand in the way.
- The bill prohibits the federal government from using special grants to coerce states into adopting specific education programs or standard.
- I am proud to introduce legislation to restore states’ authority in setting #education policy. More information: http://t.co/vDypdSAK5L
- Thanks, Senator! RT @SenBryanTaylor: @RepMarthaRoby's Defending State Authority Over Education Act right on target. http://t.co/E4P5MHKw9S

- Look who came with mom to Washington this week! I think it's time for a haircut... http://t.co/vP49ORFr3Z
- We need to understand why we weren’t prepared and what the military is doing to change so we can ensure this never happens again.
- The military was not postured to respond, even when we had every reason to believe that Americans in North Africa were under threat.
- The takeaway is this: We were not ready for a strike targeting Americans overseas on the anniversary of Sept. 11. That’s unacceptable.
- Based on our discussions it seems the military did explore options available to direct forces to Benghazi in time to make a difference.
- Just finished an extensive briefing with Department of Defense officials seeking answers on #Benghazi.
- Is skirting Congress and pleading the 5th what the White House had in mind when they said they would “cooperate” with any investigation.
- #IRS official who revealed scandal doesn’t want to appear before Congress. http://t.co/Jk2u4gi9T8
- In times like these the “armies of compassion” can truly make a difference. Here’s how you can help: http://t.co/ZmjFuTjtFO
- We are saying a special prayer for @tomcoleOK04 and his hometown of Moore, OK, which was ravaged by the storm.
- Our family continues to pray for those affected by the horrendous tornadoes in Oklahoma. #PrayForOklahoma http://t.co/Fe0LkWPEHE
- Look forward to discussing various budget items, and the role of the federal government in education in general.
- I'm in an @EdWorkforce Committee hearing where we’ll be joined by Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.
- This is a much deserved honor for General Mangum, his team, and all who help make Fort Rucker such a strong institution.
- Congrats to @Ft_Rucker on earning the Commander in Chief's Award for Installation Excellence! http://t.co/Kq8xt6drfn
- Goodness gracious. The pictures from #Oklahoma are horrific. Prayers from Alabama for all those affected.
- Individuals deserve to be held accountable for their actions. Despite WH attempts to downplay the issue, the American people deserve answers
- A top White House official this weekend said “the law is irrelevant” when it comes to #IRS scandal. I disagree. The law matters.
- The construction of #KeystonePipeline could lead to approximately 20,000 new jobs. It is past time to approve the project.
- This week the House will vote to approve the #Keystone Pipeline, help our nation's veterans, and tackle a major student loan issue.
- I'll post more photos to facebook. Again, welcome home to members of Montgomery's 908th Airlift Wing!
- It's important to us that Margaret & George grow up understanding and appreciating the sacrifices made by service members and their families
- Riley & I brought our children to today's homecoming. One of Margaret's classmates actually has a daddy in the 908th returning home today
- So grateful for the service of these men &women. Having visited w/ them overseas just last week I can tell you they are glad to be back home
- Another photo of the 908th homecoming. Proud to be w/ the families welcoming their husbands, wives, moms & dads home http://t.co/YyKhAHloZO
- The 908th is home!! C-130 lands at Maxwell AFB bringing members of the 908th Airlift Wing home to their families http://t.co/lVSTQEEY35

- RT @EagleLance: Roby: Flexibility in dealing with sequestration led to restoration of flight training hours at Fort Rucker http://t.co/u3zk…
- This is wonderful news for Fort Rucker and the vital training mission Gen. Mangum and his team so ably execute #ArmyStrong
- I'm pleased to know that this flexibility has been utilized, and that cuts to flight training at Fort Rucker have been averted
- When we passed the Consolidated & Further Appropriations Act, we included language aimed at allowing commanders to set budget priorities
- Great news! I have confirmed that feared flight training cuts at Fort Rucker have been averted thanks to recently-passed budget flexibility
- Unnecessary and costly regulations hurt job growth and impede economic success. Washington needs less government, not more.
- The House is voting today on a bill to ease the regulatory burden on working Americans and #smallbiz. http://t.co/cs6HDFi7Wk
- Congrats to the Charles Henderson High School Trojans and Coach Irons for winning the AHSAA 4A State Baseball Championship!
- Are you kidding me?? IRS official who presided over targeting scandal now heads #ObamaCare division... http://t.co/UIqUBRjgIO
- RT @flashpointblog: I feel so much better about the unholy Obamacare, IRS union now. http://t.co/ddhnRHvMqD

- I am at the Pentagon now for a lunch meeting with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff @Martin_Dempsey to talk about our nation's military.
- We must continue to ask important questions in order to figure out what happened in #Benghazi. RT if you agree. http://t.co/cBGKWKqzzx
- Next week, as Chair of the HASC Oversight and Investigations subcmte, I will hold briefings with defense officials to settle factual issues.
- It is clear that questions remain about what happened in #Benghazi, including how and to what extent the American military was involved.
- I am currently in an @EdWorkforce markup for a pair of bills (H.R. 1949 & H.R. 1911) to tackle problems facing #HigherEducation students.
- I join my colleagues in demanding answers as to how this could have occurred, and why we weren’t told the truth from the beginning.
- This debacle is real to AL. Groups from the 2nd District, including the Wetumpka Tea Party were among those wrongfully targeted by the #IRS.
- The resignation of the acting #IRS Commissioner is a positive step, but I doubt it will restore Americans’ faith in this Administration.
- In honor of National #PoliceWeek, thank you to all of our law enforcement officers from the 2nd District for their hard work and dedication.
- RT @BudgetGOP: @RepMarthaRoby And 11 million will get dropped from their employer-sponsored coverage. #IfYouLikeYourPlan...
- #ObamaCare Fact: It was supposed to lead to universal health care coverage, but the CBO estimates 30 million people will remain uninsured.
- #ObamaCare Fact: Young people will be especially hit hard. Young males under 29 could see their premiums rise as much as 200%.
- #ObamaCare Fact: The average family health care premium has grown by over $3,000 since 2008.
- RT @MiaBLove: Honored to receive the "Making History" award last night. Thank you @RepMarthaRoby for presenting! http://t.co/Nr91x0f4Tk
- @HiltonWorldwide Would being able to use overtime hours to bank paid time off help you balance the demands of being a working mom? #HWchat

- RT @HiltonWorldwide: TEN mins until our second annual #HWchat w/ @_workingmother_ begins! Follow along & talk to some of our working moms

- As we do, let’s also replace it with reforms that we know can actually work to reduce the cost of healthcare for all Americans.
- This week, the House will vote to repeal #ObamaCare in its entirety. It’s time we end this costly, overreaching law once and for all.
- Even Democrats agree that #ObamaCare is a “trainwreck.” We can do better, and it’s up to Congress to get it done.
- And it so happens the #IRS is also one of the main agencies responsible for implementing #ObamaCare…
