Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Urbana) today decried House passage of a so-called "energy bill" that will raise gas prices, reduce our domestic energy supply, make America more dependent on foreign oil, and harm Ohio's economy.
"This bill, like much of what Democrats have tried to pass this year, presumes that we can tax-and-spend our way to an energy policy," said Jordan. "In reality, taxing our own energy companies will do nothing but raise prices while increasing dependence on Middle Eastern oil in the marketplace."

Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Urbana) today cosponsored legislation prohibiting states from issuing drivers' licenses to the estimated 15 to 20 million illegal immigrants living in the United States.
"This is about as clear-cut an issue as we face here in Congress, and I hope this bill passes quickly," said Jordan. "Rewarding illegal behavior with the privilege of driving is not just bad transportation policy--it's bad immigration policy, and even worse for America's national security."
