MESSAGE FROM KAY: THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DON’T LIKE OBAMACARE

Monday, January 18th, 2010

So what do the American people think of the job President Obama is doing on health care?

According to a CBS News poll, 54% disapprove and only 36% approve.

I’m not surprised. The American people know that we can’t lower the cost of health care by creating mandates and fines. And the American people know that we have too much government involvement in health care already. The answer to health care reform comes from common sense ideas I’ve been pushing in Congress for years, like providing tax incentives to families to buy and own their own health care.

Obamacare is bad medicine. And the American people know it. That’s why I am continuing to fight against it in Washington.

Congresswoman Granger Fights for the 2nd Amendment

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

This week, Congresswoman Kay Granger continued to provide leadership on the issue of protecting the rights of gun owners.  A longtime supporter of the Second Amendment, she signed an amicus curiae brief supporting the Second Amendment rights of all Americans.  The brief was filed in the upcoming Supreme Court case of McDonald v. City of Chicago. In signing the brief, Granger again stated her support for gun rights:

“By signing this brief, my colleagues and I are reiterating our support for the existing rights we, as Americans, hold to be sacred, and reminding the Supreme Court of those rights. The Second Amendment applies to all Americans. The government should respect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens throughout our country, regardless of where they live.”
