“We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.” - William Faulkner Today, I hope you reflect on what it means to be an American, what it means to be free. Happy Independence Day! #July4th https://t.co/gPbky6yZwG — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, we must fix our broken immigration system. This is a must watch: — PolitiTweet.org

I had the great pleasure to tour two military facilities on Monday in the heart of the First District and hear from the men and women in uniform who work every day to keep us and their comrades safe both at home and abroad. Thanks to all at JWAC and CID for your hospitality! https://t.co/An03Wyxmsq — PolitiTweet.org

We had a great day last Friday, assisted by our local eagles! After years of hard work and cooperation, I am thrilled this land is in the refuge system. Fones Cliffs and its wildlife will now be permanently preserved so it can be enjoyed for generations. https://t.co/nCKJQWDnnR — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

It was great to get out and talk with folks at the Spotsylvania Stars and Stripes Spectacular 2019 to close out last month. What an honor to meet with local first responders, members of our armed forces, and to hear from the folks I represent in Washington. https://t.co/xpTAIYgNl5 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

These critical national priorities, especially funding our nation’s defense, fixing our broken infrastructure, and getting our fiscal house in order are too important to delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

The House has yet to: - pass a bipartisan budget 💰 - address the debt ceiling ⏳ - adjust budget caps 🧢 With < 35 legislative days til end of the fiscal year, Congress should remain in DC until the work is complete. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

Just sent a letter to @SpeakerPelosi asking her to cancel the August recess if the House has not addressed the many critical issues facing our Nation. Our constituents expect us to stay and finish the job. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

What a beautiful day to be out enjoying the natural beauty of our area! I was honored to join @ConservationFnd and @USFWS to celebrate the completion of a decade-long joint effort to ensure the beautiful Fones Cliffs on the Rappahannock River remain protected forever. https://t.co/pzAEWHwpLu — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

I am glad House Democrats finally came to the table in a bipartisan way to pass the Senate’s border supplemental. I urge @POTUS to sign this legislation ASAP so that those who need it most can start receiving this aid. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

We finally had the opportunity to vote on something we have wanted to consider for weeks. I am glad that this bipartisan legislation has passed and will bring aid and necessary funding to address the border crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

We have the opportunity to act now. Are we going to work in a bipartisan fashion and help those at the border? Or will House Democrats continue to put politics before policy? — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

The Senate voted 84-8 (that’s a number that’s hard to argue with), that we need to fully fund the requests from @POTUS, including for the DoJ and DoD. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

We have a crisis at our southern border. Everyone can agree on this. Unfortunately, Dem leadership is choosing to play politics instead of working across the aisle. Any partisan riders will sink emergency funding for the border. https://t.co/2nkJlh1K34 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

So glad to have talked with Gloria Roberts and other employees from @DominionEnergy yesterday in Washington. The work folks like Gloria do powers our everyday lives. Thank you to all who came out! https://t.co/Gxowoprvdt — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

I have signed on to the Election Security Assistance Act to give states the resources they need to keep our elections safe and secure. We need commonsense solutions, not political stonewalling. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

Democrats have been playing political games with the partisan election reform bill they are bringing to the floor. Election reform should be bipartisan, but Democrats are showing they do not want to work together this Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

I have put forward several bills to keep Congress on schedule and hold us accountable if we don’t stay on track. We owe it to the American people to do our jobs, and do them well. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

Democrats are putting politics over policy. We must come to the table to find bipartisan agreements on funding bills and not wait for a December pile up. This is completely avoidable. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

The humanitarian crisis is real. We must provide the necessary resources. I hope Democrats will come to the table to find a realistic, bipartisan solution to this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Backlog of immigration cases: 900,000 Average wait time: 2 years Action by Democrats to remedy the backlog: N/A — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

Today, House Republicans submitted a motion to recommit providing funding to help alleviate the crippling backlog in our immigration courts. This MTR would provide funding to hire 100 new judges and support staff. House Democrats voted it down. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

Thanks @POTUS for putting patients first rather than a socialistic, one-size-fits-all health care plan! By giving patients access to more info, he has empowered them to know the true price and quality of their healthcare. https://t.co/GVhd5MHNE4 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

After all our attempts, Democrat leadership will bring another bill, HR 3401, to the floor. While the supplemental funding is desperately needed, this bill would do nothing to fix the underlying problems. We need a realistic solution. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

HR 3056 is a response to the White House’s request for $4.5 billion in emergency border funding and humanitarian assistance. The border crisis is real. We must listen to the requests we hear from those on the ground. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

House Republicans tried 17 times to bring HR 3056, sponsored by @RepMikeRogersAL, to the floor that would provide for funding to address the humanitarian crisis on the border. House Ds have refused to consider this bill for a vote. https://t.co/gWMMolSlKP — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Birthday to the great Commonwealth of Virginia! OTD in 1788, Virginia became the 10th to ratify the Constitution. From the rolling waters of the Bay to the stately mountains of the Shenandoah Valley, there is no more beautiful state than Virginia. https://t.co/OwXeBkUI2l — PolitiTweet.org
