griffith: mr. speaker, as the community grieve we will not forget these officers, their service, their selflessness and their sacrifice. i yield back any additional time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from arkansas rise? >> mr. speaker, i rise seeking permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized. >> mr. speaker, i rise today to congratulate the university of arkansas-little rock for earning both the men and women's ncaa basketball tournament. as champions of the sun belt conference. they're sweep of the sunbelt titles makes them the first school to do so since 2008. for the lady trogeans, this is their first sunbelt championship and second consecutive trip to the tournament. for the trojans this is also their first sunbelt championship and their first visit to the ncaa tournament since 1990. congratulations to coaches steve shields and joe foley as well as athl

griffith: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today in opposition to h.con.res. 28 because it would undermine our national security and our ability to keep us safe right here at home. i understand that many americans are frustrated with the length of this war. i also understand the american people have demanded the u.s. government get its fiscal house in order. i know we cannot afford to fund this war indefinitely, but some think that cutting and running immediately from afghanistan is a solution. that's simply not an option. this is a reckless resolution. we have made progress in afghanistan and we cannot afford to abandon that progress by immediately withdrawing our troops. what we must do, however, is demand our military and civilian leaders set clear and definable goals for our military efforts in afghanistan. we also must listen to our military commanders who are there on the ground day in and day out. general petraeus has testified to our military substantial progress in impeding the taliban's influence and increasin

they saw their own tax dollars by ads where andy griffith using weasel words, and that is from factcheck.org, about how this will affect their coverage. his own advisers and nonpartisan observers have discredit some things, but the americans will allow -- obamacare will allow americans to keep their own coverage. burris were heard that the individual mandate was a tax. then they told us it was not a tax. in the depressed -- the justice department argued it was a tax. certain people felt insulted. to wrap up, newt predicted that this would repealed by a 2013. i am struck by two things. if congress does not repeal it, we will be back here on the sick get a care of obamacare, the fifth anniversary of obamacare, the 10th anniversary, having conferences like this all over the country and we will ask why health care spending is still rising out of control, why we still do not have affordable care organizations, we will be asking and questioning why insurers are being rewarded by obamacare's price controls for avoiding treating the sick. and this thing that everyone must be struck by, regardless of

teamed up with michele bachmann of minnesota and others, including connie mack of florida, and parker griffith of alabama, no longer in this congress, a number of others that were part of this original effort to introduce legislation to repeal obamacare and many others have signed on as co-sponsors and 178 that signed the discharge petition to repeal obamacare. the message was very clear. and h.r. 2 was debated and passed the house of representatives in the early stages here in the 11th congress last month, excuse me, in january, where it was sent over to the united states senate. that's an important step. another important step is to do as i've said since at least the middle of last summer, every appropriations bill, introduce language in that bill that cuts off all -- off all funds that would be used to implement or enforce obamacare. that's an essential part of this. i'd gone back and read through the history of how this congress shut down the funding for the vietnam war and shut off a war that had gone on for over a decade and they did so by putting language in a continuing resolution that

as a legislative aide to former congresswoman martha griffith, pat fought for the equal rights amendment, continuing the march for equality, advancing the cause of justice for all women. thank you, pat, we're all in your debt. through it all, whether the legislation succeeded or failed, she stood by a simple mantra, it's important for women to be involved. for the past 22 years, she has served as editor of "the house daily digest," tracking committee activities and getting the word out on what's happening on capitol hill. in that role she has noted, i've been through the turnover to republicans and back to democrats and tried to help each and every one of them do their jobs. helping others do their jobs, working in a bipartisan way, this was the essence of pat kelly's career and service. pat kelly's 54 years serving the house of representatives is a reflection of her own dedication to congress and the country. and represents the commitment, devotion to duty and passion for service of all of our congressional staffers. thank you, pat, for giving so much to the house, for all of your work

repeatedly censure insurers who disagreed with her, they saw their tax dollars buy ads where andy griffith uses weasel words to mislead seniors about how this law will effect their coverage. they hear the president continue to say things that they know are untrue, that his own advisers in many some cases and nonpartisan observers in others have discredited like obamacare will allow americans to keep their coverage, reduce costs and reduce the deficit. first, you'll remember, first, we heard that the individual mandate was a tax. then the president told us that it was not a tax. then his justice department went into court to argue that, in fact, it is a tax. at a certain point people start to feel insulted. so to wrap up, i don't think anyone knows -- newt gingrich predicted this law would be repealed by congress by march or april of 2013. i don't know if anyone can know that's true, but i'm struck by two things. the first is if congress doesn't repeal this law, then we'll be back here on the second anniversary of obamacare, the fifth anniversary, the tenth anniversary having conferences li
