UNIFIED REPUBLICANS -- (House of Representatives - November 13, 2006)
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, although Republicans face new challenges in the coming Congress, one thing is clear. We are unified in our determination to pursue policies to strengthen our Nation and our economy.
Republicans will continue to fight for complete victory in the global war on terror and work to ensure that the intelligence community and our troops have all the tools necessary to complete their mission. Through Republican policies of providing the administration the tools it needs to be successful in the war on terror, we helped defend our Nation from another attack on American soil.
Republicans are unified in our ideals of tax relief for all Americans to grow the economy and provide opportunities for every American to prosper. As a direct result of the Republican tax relief policies, unemployment is at 4.4 percent, there have been 38 consecutive months of job creation, and wages have risen 2.4 percent over the last year. These are undeniable accomplishments of the Republican-led Congress that affect all Americans. Republicans provided tax breaks for American families through the child tax credit and marriage tax penalty relief and voted to kill the death tax.
Republican policies have made our Nation safer and stronger, and we are unified in our fight to continue these successful policies.
