Time to Replace the Sequester with a Balanced Approach to Deficit Reduction.

Washington - 04/27/2013: President Obama says that because Republicans in Congress allowed a series of harmful, automatic budget cuts—called the sequester—to take effect, important programs like Head Start are now forced to reduce their services.

 After travelers were stuck for hours in airports and on planes this past week, members of Congress passed a temporary band-aid measure to stop the cuts that impact airlines — but they must do more to stop cuts to vital services for the American people. That's why it's time for a balanced approach to deficit reduction that makes smarter cuts and reforms in the tax code while creating jobs and strengthening the middle class. -WhiteHouse.gov

Rep. Martha Roby speaks about the Working Families Flexibility Act of 2013.

Washington - 05/11/2013: In this week's address, Rep. Martha Roby speaks about the Working Families Flexibility Act of 2013, which the House passed this week.

This common-sense legislation modernizes outdated government regulations by giving hourly wage workers in the private sector the freedom to receive time off instead of cash wages for overtime work as they choose. Meeting the demands of both work and family is never easy, but because of this bill, hardworking Americans will have more flexibility to better balance their time between both. House Republicans are committed to helping you make the most of your time as we work to grow our economy and create more jobs for all Americans. - GOP.gov
