I am blessed to have three great kids. My youngest daughter just started her first year at Mizzou. The day we welcomed Emily into our family still doesn't seem that long ago.
Like any parent, I had so many emotions when my children were born. Mainly, I was relieved they were healthy, and just in awe of the miracle of life. But something else happened to me on those days. With the arrival of each of my children, I became more convinced that those of us who are pro-life are on the right side of the issue.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Sam Graves issued the following statement after the House passed a bill he helped introduce that will block all federal funds to Planned Parenthood. H.R. 3134, the Defund Planned Parenthood Act, was approved by a 241-187 vote.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Sam Graves this week joined former Navy SEAL Ryan Zinke (MT-At Large) to introduce a resolution recognizing October as Special Operations Appreciation Month. The month of recognition will give Americans the opportunity to honor members of United States Special Operations Forces for their service and sacrifice on behalf of this country.
A few weeks ago, President Obama said that those of us who oppose his Iran deal are "crazies." What's actually crazy is that our President trusts Iran with a nuclear weapon.
It's crazy that the Obama administration's July 14 agreement provides billions in sanctions relief to the Iranian government. It's crazy that this deal only requires Iran to postpone expansion of its nuclear program for 10 years. And it's even crazier that it allows Iran to continue building a nuclear weapon after those 10 years are up.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Sam Graves today voted against the Obama Administration's nuclear agreement with Iran. Rep. Graves, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, also voted to uphold the economic sanctions currently in place against the Iranian government.
"Iran is the world's largest sponsor of terrorism, and it has shown in the past that it cannot be trusted," Rep. Graves said. "As such, a nuclear Iran would pose a significant threat to the United States, Israel, and to our allies in Europe."
As we celebrate Labor Day this weekend, we remember the sacrifices and hard work that have made America the greatest and most prosperous nation on earth.
For those of us in office, it is also a reminder of the responsibility to protect the free markets that have made that prosperity possible.
Government does not exist to create jobs, but rather to protect our country from its enemies and foster a climate where free markets can thrive. Ultimately, our goal is for everyone to have a shot at the American dream. Opportunity – above all else – must be protected.
A new school year is in full swing across the Midwest. I know it all too well, as my youngest daughter just started her freshman year at Mizzou. Her first day of kindergarten still doesn't seem that long ago.
As students and teachers return to the classroom this fall, the House and Senate will be working jointly to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Schools Act.
I have always believed that teachers and parents are better positioned to make decisions for their schools than bureaucrats in Washington.
President Obama and the Environmental Protection Agency continue to test the boundaries, pushing a radical agenda that could have a devastating impact on our economy.
The right to life is our most important right. As a society, we have a responsibility to do all that we can to protect that right.
With every vile, heart-wrenching video of Planned Parenthood executives discussing the sale of aborted baby parts, it becomes more and more clear that the organization is more radical than we ever imagined. It is also clear that we must do everything possible to stop this repulsive behavior.
