We remain united with the British, and our allies around the world, in our resolve to defeat terrorism and bring those who commit these acts to justice.

We will never forget and we will not relent until our job is done.

Eliminating the death tax is particularly important for the many small business owners and family farmers that call Central Washington home.

In six short years, small business owners and family farmers will once again be assessed a tax on the value of their property at the time of their death, despite having paid taxes throughout their lifetime.

The most basic obligation we have to our veterans is that we keep the promises that were made to them. That is what makes the recent failures of the Veterans Administration so shameful.

This is a form of double taxation and it's simply unfair.

With my support, the House of Representatives recently voted to permanently repeal the death tax so that family farms and businesses can be passed down to children and grandchildren.
