  • #Gof8 You promise border security. How, when we can't secure Congress from Obama amnesty? Schumer, McCain, come guard my door.
  • 20 brazen self professed illegal aliens have just invaded my DC office. Obama's lawless order gives them de facto immunity from U.S. law.
  • #Immigration: Senate votes cloture on amnesty act by #Gof8. Political inertia trumped common sense. Can the House salvage the Rule of Law?
  • 69 years ago, Warrior's courage on #D-Day. 40 years later and 29 years ago, Reagan speech “Boys of Pointe du Hoc” http://t.co/56WyQiWbrw
  • #D-Day Heroes made history 69 years ago today. Our civilization was saved. The vanquished saw their civilization restored.
  • #Immigration OpEd “Making Undocumented Immigrants ‘Citizens’ will Only Expand our Bloated Welfare State” http://t.co/kCb2LRlyeq #NoAmnesty
  • #Immigration: Drudge Report links "The Hill" story on King speech, "Reagan '86 Amnesty Act gave us Obama" http://t.co/GyVne5cF5a (video)

  • My prayers for the people in tornado alley, especially for the families who have lost loved ones. #Oklahoma #twister
  • #IRS abuse requires indictments. Americans want an effective and permanent solution. Abolish the IRS and tax code. Pass HR25 the #FairTax.
  • @USNWRDebateClub, My take on: "Obama's #Benghazi Cover-up Is Worse Than Watergate" with Iran-Contra undertones. http://t.co/w4bz7DCFk9
  • #ObamaCareInThreeWords Metastasizing Malignant Tumor
  • My #Immigration article on the Daily Caller @ http://t.co/odXnxk8OpT Heritage & R Rector are right. No conservative can support #Gangof8
  • #Gosnell guilty of murder for accelerating delivery of babies, then cutting their spinal cords. Is human life sacred in and out of the womb?
  • #Gosnell jury is in sequestration deliberating as to whether it's murder to "snip" the neck of a newborn baby. God help us if they acquit.
  • #Grassley just rang the bell with clarity and vigor defending whistle blowers. Tom Perez covered up millions in St. Paul fraud.
  • I will not run for Senate in 2014. A Senate race takes me out of urgent battles in Congress that can't wait until 2015. Many thanks to all.
  • #Pigford is colossal fraud by race hustlers. Cabinet Members, Obama, White House involved. Congress must act. NYTimes http://t.co/X580LjTjw9
  • NY Times vindicates King & Breitbart! Vilsack/Holder/Obama culpable, corrupt $4.4bil in Pigford claims. http://t.co/X580LjTjw9 #Pigford
  • I introduced #HR997 declaring English as our official language. #PJNET helps you find out more & thank cosponsors http://t.co/Jb1vQIx5XT
  • #Gof8Fact: Bill instantaneously legalizes every illegal in America w/very few exceptions & invites those deported to come back. #immigration
  • #Gof8Fact ICE was shut/Obama WH was invited to private meetings on Gang of 8 bill #secretmeetings #immigration http://t.co/UlgCQwlAmq
  • #Gof8Fact: Gang of 8 bill rewards those deported & here illegally with the objective of their crime #amnesty #immigration #slaponthehand
  • Tragedy in Boston. Deranged individual, religion, or culture. Pray for us all. #prayforboston
  • For all of you who lost sleep & agonized over your taxes, let's make April 15th "Just another day" by passing the Fair Tax, HR 25. #FairTax
  • RT @ByronYork: RT @kausmickey: Makes some fresh points/"Sorry, GOP! Immigration Reform Won’t Win You The Latino Vote" http://t.co/oTrlQsBgc1
  • Gang of 8 says plan not amnesty. Teddy & McCain, Bush & Rove failed to redefine amnesty in '07/they did define CIR as amnesty.#immigration
  • Gang of 8-No amnesty? To grant amnesty is to pardon immigration law breakers and reward them with the objective of their crime. #immigration
  • House Rule of Law conservatives launch fight to block amnesty agenda. #immigration #CIR
  • Lady Thatcher, "My positions were very soundly based. I saw no reason to change them." Storm Lake, IA 1994. Reagan & Berlin Wall. #thatcher
  • Our Founders protected the press in the 1st Amendment. Leftist professional hyperventilators disgrace themselves. http://t.co/RlECBF29FQ
  • It's 22 degrees and new snow just covered old snow. I'm ready for the annual miracle of "climate change!"
  • Happy National Ag Day! I am honored to serve one of the leading Ag producing districts in America. Iowa’s Ag voice continues strong #AgDay
  • Congrats to @CycloneWBB for winning your spot in this year’s NCAA Tournament. All the way in March Madness making Iowa proud! #cyclONEnation
  • Congrats to the @CycloneMBB for winning a slot in the 2013 NCAA Tournament. Let’s Go State! All the way in March Madness! #cyclONEnation
  • RT @PhyllisSchlafly: Looking forward to seeing my good friend @SteveKingIA tomorrow on the main stage at 9a! #CPAC2013 #tcot
  • Q 4 Obama: You refuse to enforce current immigration law. Why should Congress take your word to enforce new immigration law? #balancedbudget
  • @McCormickJohn @AlHuntDC @NYTimes John, didn't get memo from Al? Or did you? ICYMI: http://t.co/UkXKoq9cii http://t.co/7E56VZdM6Q
  • @nytimes @alHuntDC ICYMI: http://t.co/7E56VZdM6Q
  • The press is asking me why Sec Vilsack was utterly disrespectful testifying before House Ag committee. That's for him to answer. #sequester
  • Sec. Vilsack will not identify flexibility needed to avert meat inspector furloughs. Packer shutdown threatened by Obama Adm. #sequester
  • @nytimes @alHuntDC Hunt of Bloomberg posted a dishonest column on me. When called to correct he refused & would not review original source.
  • USA Today has mischaracterized my very complimentary statement about immigrants as an insult and refuses to review the original source.#King
  • Valentines Day 2 years ago, I was b4 House Rules Committee requesting approval of amendment to block all funding for ObamaCare. We lost big.
  • Yours truly on the original set of Bart's Clubhouse where I was first on TV @ KIMT as a cub scout in the 50's. http://t.co/m4uSUeAz
  • "Nothing I'm proposing tonight should increase our deficit by a single dime." That's net, after tax increases. Who could believe? #sotu
  • Once again, White House provides no copies of Obama's speech for Members of Congress. I will be reading it on my iPhone. No disrespect.#sotu
  • 17 years ago today, I announced my first attempt at public office. Today, I thank Iowans whose support has granted me the privilege to serve
  • Here, over the span of 36 hrs, Phil Gramm, Steve Moore, Larry Kudlow, & Steve Forbes have each been brilliant on Econ. Wish Obama were here.
  • Lights went out on Louisiana Rep Steve Scalise (Republican Study Committee chair) as he spoke, just like the Super Bowl. It's a LA thing.
  • Today (Feb 3) is 100th anniversary of the income tax and IRS. After a full century of punishing productivity, it's time for the Fair Tax.
  • Some Senators & Reps will soon announce how they plan to pardon law breakers & reward them with the objective of their crime. Very bad idea.
  • Merry Christmas to our troops and thank you for your service to our great country. Watch: http://t.co/b74A7QC5
  • Want to know what I would like in my stocking this Christmas? Watch: http://t.co/UjG6X8BR #BBAmendment #DCWishList
  • Sandy Hook tragedy: Heartbreak of history. 20 bubbling & innocent little personalities, 7 adults-all live, learn, love & laugh no more. RIP
  • Pear Harbor was a call to arms to the Greatest Generation to save "Western Christendom" from global tyranny. God bless them.
  • Obama voters chose dependency over Liberty. Now establishment R's want citizenship for illegals. You can't beat Santa Claus with amnesty.
  • Romney just said, "We'll phase out subsidies once an industry's on it's feet." Wind PTC has a path to a soft landing.
  • Now that Hillary has fallen on her sword over Benghazi, who falls next after tonight's foreign policy debate, as a sacrifice to save Obama?
  • Romney had to debate Obama & the moderator last night. Debate prep now requires new dimension. Moderators, leave misstatements to candidates
  • Biden telling the world that Iran doesn't have the nuclear material or a weapon to deliver it. If true, it's likely classified information.
  • Obama Administration's Benghazi after action report even to Congress was intentionally misleading. Will Obama push Hillary under the bus?
  • The world is going to miss Alex Karras, All-American Hawkeye, pro-bowler, actor, one punch knockout of a horse, kind and lovable. RIP
  • Romney repertoire of facts, studies, data, & ability to address Obama statements is textbook. ObamaCare is now officially in U.S. vernacular
  • The president is well prepared and put a lot of topics on the table. Mitt has blocked every punch, counter punched and been the aggressor.
  • Coach Tom Osborne retires as head Husker. Among the finest of men on field, in locker room, in Congress. The same man in public and private.
  • Andy Williams, gone to his eternal reward. Two of my sons live in Wall Lake, IA-Andy's home town. Born 10 miles away. We all mourn his loss.
  • Christy Vilsack is ducking debate tonight on campus at ISU. Congressman John Linder and I will instead do a FACTUAL program on the FairTax.
  • Im just back from floor votes. One on one meetings on policy with Dennis Kucinich, Kilili Sablan, and Shiela Jackson-Lee, in that order.
  • I joined the farm bill now rally here in Washington. See story and pictures here: http://t.co/cJRIH13A
  • Acts of war against the U.S. in Libya and Egypt should not be responded to by American apologies. Justice 4 perpetrators. Prayers 4 victims.
  • Obama issues first "work permits" to illegals in arrogant, lawless act. Amnesty by edict, he violates oath of office and our Constitution.
  • A bright, clear day much like 2001. But today on this 11th anniversary, the flag is at half staff. #Remember911 http://t.co/E2nrcTB1
  • Obama and Vilsack are rationing food to hungry kids in our schools. I opposed the bill exactly for this reason. Meatless Mondays, Tues & Wed
  • Neil Armstrong has taken a giant's step into eternity. God blessed America with him. Godspeed to your eternal reward Neil.
  • Christie Vilsack, you refused to appear on stage with me in several debates & have refused all my debate proposals. I'll be in Ames Sept. 22
  • The leftist media, paid in ca$h by George Soros, is dictating the response of leading Republicans. How can the American Dream survive?
  • Bruce Brayley has no discharge petition to move a House Ag Committee farm bill, not one single signature, including his own. Political games
  • Ryan for VP! Romney's executive talent plus Ryan's financial reform. Now give Mitt a mandate for balanced budget amendment to Constitution.
  • I'm in a meeting with Chen Guangcheng, the blind Chinese who escaped and exposed forced abortions and sterilizations, and aborted girls.
  • American Wind Energy Assoc. needs to come out with a proposal to ratchet down wind PTC. Failure to do so will fracture bipartisan support.
  • I am doing a LIVE Townhall Now! Go to http://t.co/bE4BQnAp to join in the conversation. Send questions to askcongressmanking@gmail.com.
  • RT @USDA: MT @usdapress: USDA does not endorse Meatless Monday. Statement on USDA site posted w/o proper clearance. It has been removed ...
  • USDA HQ meatless Mondays!!! At the Dept. Of Agriculture? Heresy! I'm not grazing there. I will have double rib-eye Mondays instead.
  • The House WILL now vote to audit the Fed. About time. Why was it so hard to do? Congratulations to Ron Paul. #AudittheFed
  • Sec. Vilsack, all Iowa delegation already agrees we need a farm bill now. Your time is far better spent in Ohio or Virginia this weekend.
  • Aurora, CO mass murder is a terrible event near Littleton. Another very evil individual whose heinous crime calls out for the death penalty.
  • Today's news: Obama's drunk driving illegal alien absconder, uncle "Omar", was given special treatment and exempted from deportation by ICE.
  • Secretary Vilsack has been AWOL on the Farm Bill. No testimony. No input. Nothing but after the fact criticism.
  • Meandering on backroads of Iowa 500+ miles. Saw first hogs in open feed lot. People drive all over the #1 pork state and never see a hog.
  • "ObamaCare" pejorative according to leftists. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act should then be called "UnAffordable Care Act".
  • Tom Vilsack needs 2 deploy air tankers to put out forest fires in Colorado. He has authority and responsibility to command air assets, C-130
  • Gov Walker kept his campaign promises & his reward was big labor's multimillion$ recall attempt. Walker pitched a landslide shutout. #Walker
  • ObamaCare's "lingering uncertainty" responsible 4 shutdown & 111 jobless in Sioux Center, IA http://t.co/VxMalDqM #SCOTUSdecision
  • Now debating HR3541 which bans sex selected abortions. A sin to abort baby girls b/c they are girls. Christie, join me & defend little girls
  • RT @SCJBretH: (Stepping game up) RT: @KingForCongress King campaign to report $1 mil COH in Apr 1-May 16 FEC report. Raised $350k in jus ...
  • Jill Biden to DM Dems, There aren't two political leaders who care more about women than Joe Biden & Obama. Must have overlooked Hill & Bill
  • The White House tells us it is a coincidence that POTUS is in Afghanistan on anniversary of OBL death. Billy "White Shoes" Johnson? #Obama
