Today marks the 100th day since Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Urbana) was sworn in as a member of the 110th Congress.
It is hard to believe that only 100 days have passed since taking the oath of office as the new Congressman from Ohio's 4th District.
Since then, we have been busy working both in Ohio and Washington, D.C. In our district, I have personally attended more than 80 meetings, events, and speeches since January, and our staff has attended many more. We welcome your continued invitations to meet, visit, speak, and listen.
SPEECH OF
HON. JIM JORDAN
OF OHIO
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 29, 2007
Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Mr. Chairman, my opposition to this proposal is clear and fundamental. It raises taxes. It is not fiscally responsible. It does not protect Social Security, and it does not protect the interests of families, who as the cornerstone of our society, deserve to be the very first consideration in each of our legislative decisions.
Jordan's proposal was designed to counter House Democrats' efforts to enact a $182.2 billion income tax hike.
"Tax cuts are helping our economy, and they'll continue to have a positive impact if they're allowed to work," said Jordan. "Now more than ever, raising taxes is the wrong medicine for the families and taxpayers of our state and nation."

On September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked the United States of America, killing thousands of innocent people in a horrific fashion and forever changing America's role in the fight against global terrorism.

"Governing by principle helps you create good public policy," said Jordan. The effort centers on four basic rights to ensure a more efficient and accountable government to American taxpayers:
-Taxpayers have a right to a government that does not grow beyond their ability to pay for it.

Mr. JORDAN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.
Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise in solemn remembrance of seven Ohioans whose lives were cut short by a tragic bus accident on the morning of Friday, March 2, 2007, in Atlanta, Georgia. Though words cannot express the depth of their loss, we honor their memory and offer our condolences to their families, friends, teammates, and classmates of these seven individuals:
"This is outstanding news for the City of St. Marys," Jordan said. "This funding will help the city's first responders better prepare to fight fires and save lives."
