Robin Hayes Quotations

Those who served, and those who continue to serve in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard took an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, and we can never forget the importance of their commitment to our Nation.

Memorial Day this year is especially important as we are reminded almost daily of the great sacrifices that the men and women of the Armed Services make to defend our way of life.

As we look forward to freedom, the shining city on the hill and the best days of America lying ahead, it is the men and women in uniform who protect, defend and make us proud to whom we should look and give thanks every night.

If people around the world knew how well people at Guantanamo Bay are treating prisoners, they would not fall prey to the accusations that some in our Chamber are making. They are all receiving judicial review.

What our men and women in uniform are doing is providing for the Iraqi people and other surrounding nations the opportunity to see, to taste and to experience the democracy that equals freedom and ultimately justice.

Today the Internet is run by private sector interests within the United States under the supervision of a nonprofit entity formed by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

So, yes, we do celebrate America today because the majority will stand up and empower the American people to live that American Dream and to be part of making a better, freer, and safer world.

If anyone has it rough at Guantanamo, it is the guards. They are constantly harassed and threatened by some of these terrorists. Prisoners tell guards, we know where your families are. We know where your wife is, your children, and we are going to kill them.

North Carolina, particularly the 8th District, has long played a key role in our Nation's military forces.

My district includes the two urban centers of Charlotte and Fayetteville, as well as large rural areas. Obviously, these diverse segments of North Carolina require different approaches to meeting current and future transportation demands.

As we are all aware, Special Operations Forces, SOF, are playing an increasingly essential role as we continue to fight and, more importantly, win the war on terror.

One of the great joys this year and the year before has been how all of the people in this body, men and women, Republicans and Democrats, have worked together so well with our chairman and the chairman of the full committee to address the issues of housing for our soldiers.

We in the majority have worked hard to empower people to create opportunities, to make jobs, to do things that turn America into a place where people can achieve their dreams.

I have been to Iraq on a number of occasions. I was with the first group that went in.

With over 1 billion users and counting worldwide, the Internet has quickly become a critical place for individuals, business communities and governments to share and distribute information.

Mr. Speaker, there was an initiative to put full control of the Internet into the hands of the United Nations. That is a bad idea.

One person said, 'It is unbelievable. It is an absolute madhouse,'

Nobody disputes 9/11, ... They would do it again if not prevented.

I am very proud to have Fort Bragg, the epicenter of the universe, home of Joint Special Operations Command, in my home district.

It is also in stark contrast to the U.N., that sits on their collective duffs while people in the Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan need help.

We can't let down our guard, ... The motive of these particular individuals remains unclear. However, my greatest concern is that they were able to gain access to the installation at all.

Troops from Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base are nobly answering the call of duty, separated from their families, friends, and loved ones.

We don't intend to offer the least expensive business-class product; we intend to offer the best.

We think it will clearly be the best business-class seat in the sky.

Beyond the concerns with freedom, there are concerns about the U.N. using its control of the Internet as a means to impose new international taxes.

It was a light-bulb moment, ... For the first time, the business traveler had a real opportunity to get good sleep overnight.

Saddam Hussein and people like him were very much involved in 9/11,

He?s looking down on us and saying wow. He never knew that that many people thought that much of him.

I arrived here in a hydrogen car a few minutes ago. I never would have thought that would have happened. That is an alternative.

I am pleased to learn that USDA is scrapping it's existing 'FSA Tomorrow' program, which could close 26 FSA county offices throughout North Carolina, ... These offices are crucial to our farming communities.

The Internet was developed in large part by U.S. government research funding to develop new communications networks, starting with a network created by the Department of Defense.

Our law enforcement must be given every tool available to protect children from predators and parents need to know who is living in their community.
