Dear Friends,

I hope this update finds you well.  Thanks for subscribing to my e-newsletter so that I can share updates and news from Washington and South Carolina with you.  If you would like for friends and family to be in the loop, they can sign up for my updates here.

Fairness in Healthcare

If Obamacare is too harmful to apply to the President’s political friends, it is too harmful for all Americans. This law of the land should apply to everyone—or preferably to no one—equally, and I was disappointed to see that President Obama has chosen to make special exceptions for unions.

I joined twenty-four colleagues in condemning this inappropriate action in a letter to the administration.  You can read it here.

Taxpayer Right to Know Act

You have the right to know how federal agencies are using your money. For too long, Congress has directed money from the pockets of hardworking Americans into federal agencies, where its efficiency and use are nearly impossible to track. 

We cannot reasonably talk about cutting spending and reducing our debt without addressing the $200 billion spent in waste and duplication in our government each year.

I joined Senator Coburn this week in introducing a bill that would take a commonsense step in requiring federal agencies to document their programs, activities, and administrative costs.  Learn more about it here.

 Supporting Choice for Kids

I am a strong believer of the value of school choice in creating opportunity for our kids.  I recently introduced the CHOICE Act to expand options for parents to choose in their kids’ education, and spoke about it at length at CPAC.    This editorial ran yesterday in the Post and Courier and talks further about the possibilities that school choice can open up for kids.

I will continue to work on my agenda of opportunity for all Americans, and I appreciate the privilege of serving as your voice in the United States Senate.  Your input is very valuable to me—please do not hesitate to reach out with questions, suggestions, or if we can ever be of service to you.

Sincerely,

Tim
