Tonight, the President gave his sixth annual State of the Union address. Representative Randy Weber (R-Friendswood) made the following statement:

“Americans voted for a new direction in November, because they are sick and tired of the President’s failed policies. Unfortunately, the President proved tonight that he will continue with the same outdated policies that only promote more government control over our lives. Republicans have a different plan in mind. Our plan will reduce government intrusion, and let our job creators thrive without fear of red-tape and regulatory uncertainty. Hard-working Americans deserve a government that gets out of their way and allows them the freedom to choose – to choose how to spend their hard-earned paycheck, to choose how to manage their budget, and to choose what health care and education options are best for their family. The President must put his liberal-driven agenda aside. It is past-time that the President makes the priorities of the American people, his priorities.”
