"The House passed this bill without amendment—I repeat, without amendment—on a 330-to-93 vote last week. But that 93 kind of says it all. Ninety-three is the mainstay of the tea party caucus in the House. They are opposed to everything, just as almost 50 percent of the Senate Republicans are against everything. That is what we have here. Even though there is outward support for this legislation, they want to kill this bill. They don’t want the government to have anything to do with our lives—period, nothing—which is unrealistic in this modern world and, in fact, in any world."

"Mr. Speaker. On May 8, 2012, I inadvertently voted “yes” on rollcall vote number 210 (Grimm amendment to H.R. 5326) when I meant to vote “no.”"

"Mr. Speaker, due to being unavoidably delayed, I missed the vote on the Huelskamp Amendment, which prohibits the use of funds in contravention of the Defense of Marriage Act, to H.R. 5326 (roll No. 235), the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Appropriations Act for FY 2013. I would have voted against this amendment, had I been present to record my vote."

"“no” on rollcall 202, the Peters Amendment to increase funding for the International Trade Administration and US Trade Representative by decreasing funding for NASA’s Cross Agency Support account. While I support fully funding the Interagency Trade Enforcement Center in FY 13, I believe it is unwise to do that by taking funding away from NASA."
