mrs. roby: i thank the gentleman from colorado and the other members that are here tonight to talk about the red tape reduction and small business job creation act that we will be voteicing on in the house this week. president obama commented in a speech and he said, quote, if you've got a business, you didn't build that. somebody else made that happen. and president obama has even talked about how excessive regulation hurts job creation, saying that sometimes rules have gotten out of balance, placing burdens on business, burdens that have stifled innovation and chilling effect on the growth of jobs of the this is straight from this president and this administration now even recently -- as recently as february of 2012, the economists their overregulated america. this is not a secret that we're talking about here tonight. that is something that is something clearly well established. if any member has taken, as i know many have the time to travel throughout their districts as we all do to meet wi

fudge that i failed to recognize the gentleman from massachusetts two rounds ago, so after mrs. roby, we'll go to mr. mcgovern. with that, the gentle lady may proceed with her amendment, number 101, whenever she's prepared. >> thank you, mr. chairman. this amendment would require that state agencies that issue s.n.a.p. benefits must verify through a mandatory process the immigration status of applicants who apply for such benefits. according to cbo, this amendment would result in savings to the government relative to hr-6083, although no official score is available at this time. specifically the amendment would require the use of some verification system such as the systemic alien verification for entitlements program, run by the u.s. immigration services to verify s.n.a.p. applicants. applicants for s.n.a.p. benefits must declare they're a u.s. citizen or eligible alien. currently state agencies accept applicants, declarations of u.s. citizenships merely at face value. this leads an opportunity for applicants to provide fraudulent social security numbers to receive benefits. however

mrs. roby: mr.speaker, i rise today in support of h.r. 6097 the repeal of obamacare act on which i'm a co-sponsor. president obama signed into law the largest health care overhaul in the history of the united states and sadly it is less about providing quality health care and more about expanding the scope of the federal government. and the law fails to address the number one health care concern that families and employers have and that's cost. and under the individual mandate as i sat here and listened to the debate, each individual will absolutely will be penalized, we'll call it a tax, and this free country, that person chooses to remain uninsured or purchase health care that is not government approved, and that is regardless of their income. despite the supreme court's ruling, a significant number of americans continue to oppose obamacare and encouraging congress to take immediate action. americans and their doctors, not federal bureaucrats and politicians are in the business position to determi

mrs. roby: i thank the gentleman and, mr. speaker, i rise today in support of h.r. 3803, the district of columbia act of which i am a proud co-sponsor. and sitting here, i want to get a few things straight. i am a woman and i have not declared war on myself. and second of all, this is not a direct challenge to roe v. wade. this is a direct challenge to the cruelty of unborn children. currently the policy in d.c. legally allows abortion for any reason until the moment of birth. mr. speaker, aaron and blake camby, a couple from my home state of alabama, they were pregnant with their second daughter when erin had complications at 22 weeks. and it at only 25 weeks, in two days their little baby was born on january 8, weighing only one pound, 14 ounces. but every bit a full baby. they spent 2 1/2 months and both she and her parents struggled daily but that tiny baby, that tiny baby is now 6 1/2 months old and thrivingsing. in the district of columbia, faith could have been aborted not only at the point at which she was born, but a

mrs. roby: thank you, mr. speaker. once again president obama displays his lack of leadership and refuses to take charge in order to avoid the forthcoming devastating ramifications associated with sequester. that's why i enthusiastically agreed to co-sponsor h.r. 5872, the sequestration transparency act of 2012. for months the house armed services committee has repeatedly asked d.o.d. and o.m.b. for specifics of how sequestration would be implemented and its impact. in response we received nothing. h.r. 5587 is implemented the president will be forced to forgo is laisez faire attitude and be forward to detail the administration's plans to implement the sequestration cut. he will be forced to include an estimate of the sequestration percentages and amounts necessary to achieve the reduction for both defense and nondefense categories. of course the impact op our military family and their personnel cannot be overstated. frankly it's inexcusable these men and women who sacrifice so much for our nation should suffer through
