For people who dont know me, I practiced medicine in Casper, Wyoming for 25 years as an orthopedic surgeon, taking care of families in Wyoming. Ive been chief of staff of the largest hospital in our state. My wife is a breast cancer survivor.

As a physician and a U.S. senator, I have warned since the very beginning about many troubling aspects of Mr. Obama's unprecedented health-insurance mandate. Not only does he believe he can order you to buy insurance, the president also incorrectly equates health insurance coverage with medical care.

My dad took me to John Kennedy's inauguration when I was 8. We come every time, Republican and Democrat, because of this great country.

The failed stimulus, along with Obamacare's long list of failures, show what happens when Congress passes laws in a rush.

Our state has a balanced budget. We have to live within our means in the state of Wyoming. I was in the state senate. This country needs a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

The more Americans find out about President Barack Obama's health care law, the less they like it. A majority of Americans want out.

When we export energy, we export American influence overseas. As I travel around the world, I know that there are people that want to buy energy from America.
