Exclusive—Sen. Marsha Blackburn: Tennessee Must Show America How to Stand Up to Communist China

as Tennessee’s next governor, I will continue supporting the values and traditions that have made our agricultural communities strong for generations. That means standing up to outside international actors like the Chinese Communist Party and preventing them from purchasing our farmland.

BLACKBURN & HAGERTY: Protecting the Sanctity and Value of Each American’s Vote

More than 74 million Americans who voted for President Donald Trump have justifiably lost confidence in the electoral system because election laws in decisive battleground states were ignored or altered outside of the legislative process.

Blackburn: Warnock And Ossoff Are Too Extreme; They Stand With Schumer, Pelosi, and AOC

Let’s be clear about something: the media doesn’t get to declare who is president. President Donald Trump is our president, but if the media had it their way, he would have never been president in the first place.

Those who complain about an American flag being on a pair of shoes could not fight like a soldier if they had to.

Exclusive – Marsha Blackburn: Even the Media Can’t Ignore Historic Job Numbers

Even the media could not ignore the historic nature of the April jobs numbers released by the Labor Department on Friday.

Exclusive – Rep. Marsha Blackburn: Unleashing the American Economy

Capitol Hill is surrounded by an endless supply of negative hyperbole — from liberal fear mongering to doomsday rhetoric to mainstream media talking heads. From what you may hear on the news, it feels like America’s best days are behind us.

Exclusive–Marsha Blackburn Details Plan for Buying Health Insurance Across State Lines

Over the last 7 years, while we’ve painstakingly watched Obamacare nearly destroy our healthcare system in America, we have learned quite a bit, though, to Republicans, none of it is too surprising. As it turns out, Americans want choices. They want flexibility. They want health insurance that works for them and their families. They do not want to be told what plan to buy, when to buy it, or where to buy it. They are sick of health insurance plans they can hardly afford to buy and that are too expensive to use. They are tired of struggling to pay premiums that continue to skyrocket year after year. Sadly, Democrats have not taken those concerns into consideration.

Hillary Clinton — Untrustworthy and Ineffective

Constituents in my congressional district routinely ask me about the chances of Hillary Clinton being elected President. Hard-working Tennesseans are gravely concerned about what another four years of Obama-like policies will do to our country. They know America is headed in the wrong direction.

ObamaCare: Five Years of Smoke and Mirrors

I was recently reminded of a line from Mark Twain’s autobiography: “There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.” Another way of thinking is that in order for statistics to be meaningful, they must be scrutinized. The recent statistic that 16.4 million people have gained insurance under Obamacare invites our scrutiny.

What About The American Worker?

The biggest casualty of the President’s executive amnesty, aside from the Constitution, has been the American worker. President Obama is handing out millions of work permits to illegal aliens at a time when many Americans are struggling to find a job. It is difficult to grasp why President Obama seems more interested in lending a helping hand to illegal aliens than American workers. Sadly, the issuance of work permits is often an overlooked part of the President’s amnesty.

The American People Have Spoken; President Obama’s Lawless Amnesty Must Be Stopped

President Obama said in October that while he was not on the ballot, his policies were. The result was a historic rejection of his radical agenda. Perhaps more than any issue, voter disgust over the President’s amnesty for undocumented individuals
