My faith guides my life.

I'm up for re-election in 2014, and yes I do plan to run for re-election.

I need to be looking at what's important in North Carolina, and you better believe that's what I will do.

After much thought and prayer, I have come to my own personal conclusion that we shouldn't tell people who they can love or who they can marry.

The Small Business 'common app' would function much like the one that students complete to apply to multiple colleges and universities simultaneously. It would ensure that small businesses across the country can concentrate on growing and creating jobs - not wasting time, filling out mountains of repetitive paperwork.

We in Congress need to do everything possible to encourage and cultivate small businesses, so that they can expand and create jobs. Far too often, however, U.S. small businesses are impeded by government paperwork and bureaucratic red tape.

Well, I believe in God. I taught Sunday school.
