"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift of God?" -- Thomas Jefferson

"And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forbears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from generosity of the state but from the hand of God." -- John F. Kennedy

"Because of their belief that power had come from God to each individual, the Framers began the Constitution with the words 'we the people'" -- Newt Gingrich

"There's never been a nation like the United States, ever. It begins with the principles of our founding documents, principles that recognize that our rights come from God, not from our government." -- Marco Rubio

'Pledge to America'

Click here to read the Pledge.

“The federal government is too big, it spends too much, and it’s out of control,” said House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio. The current federal government “isn’t listening” and “doesn’t get it.”


“Our government has failed us,” said Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-California. “The land of opportunity has become the land of shrinking prosperity. … People are outraged.”

“The House Republican plan is a clear and forceful response to these concerns, and working together, House and Senate Republicans will continue to fight for the principles upon which it is based,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky.

House Majority Steny Hoyer, D-Md., responded, “They want to put a new face with the same policies, and the American people will reject it.”
