The House just passed HR 3, the Northern Route Approval Act, which would finally lead to the creation of the Keystone Pipeline.

1,706 days. That's how many days President Obama has had to approve the Keystone Pipeline. But he has failed to lead.

#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:

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.

official who revealed scandal doesn’t want to appear before Congress.

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!

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

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

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.

#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.

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
