Cole Statement on Defense Strategy Announcement
Rep. Tom Cole (OK-04) released the following statement after President Obama announced new defense strategy priorities in remarks at the Pentagon: "These changes will make America weaker, not stronger. We are cutting defense spending and the size of our armed forces because the Obama administration is overspending in other areas, not because we have a military that is too large or overfunded. "We still live in a very dangerous world that won't be safer with fewer American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. Moreover, the reductions in the size of our ground forces will force the United ...

Dozens of Oklahomans weighed in on issues from health care to soldiers overseas at a town hall meeting Saturday inChickasha with Representative Tom Cole. Cole gave his views on the current happenings in Washington during a town hall meeting Saturday and said as a former college instructor, he would give the Administration a "D" if he had to grade their progress when it comes to hot topics from the war to health care. Cole said when the House narrowly passed the landmark health care bill last month, health care reform took a giant step backward. "I think what we have is still not acceptable ...
Cole Statement on Keystone Pipeline Announcement
Rep. Tom Cole (OK-04) released the following statement after the White House announced it is rejecting plans to move forward with the Keystone XL pipeline: "President Obama's decision to block the Keystone pipeline is indefensible. This is a purely political move that puts the president's campaign ahead of the urgent need to create American jobs. Years of extensive study show that Keystone will be just as environmentally safe as the many other pipelines already crisscrossing the nation. ... Source: cole.house.gov

AF Excludes Displaced Tinker Civilians From Furloughs Washington, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), Congressmen Frank Lucas (R-Okla.-3), Tom Cole (R-Okla.-4), James Lankford (R-Okla.-5), Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.-1) and Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.-2) today praised the decision from the Air Force to invoke Alternate Safe Haven Authorities which would except Tinker Air Force Base civilian personnel from furloughs whose homes were destroyed or declared uninhabitable as a result of the recent tornadoes in Oklahoma. "The men and women who have been displaced by the recent storms in Oklahoma deserve our full support as we continue the recovery process and begin to rebuild our communities," said Inhofe. "The Airmen and civilians at Tinker Air Force Base live in and comprise the communities surrounding the base and are among those who have lost homes and possessions as a result of the devastating storms that recently tore through Oklahoma. Today's decision from the Air Force to except the civilian employees from furloughs whose homes wer |
Bills Eliminate Unnecessary Funding for Campaigns and Party Conventions Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) released the following statement after the Committee on House Administration held markups on H.R. 94 and H.R. 95. Both pieces of legislation were authored by Cole to do away with taxpayer subsidization of presidential nominating conventions and eliminate the outdated system of the public financing of elections and presidential nominating conventions. “I am pleased that the Chairman Miller and Ranking Member Brady have taken up this important legislation,” said Cole. “When the Presidential Election Campaign Fund (PECF) was created in 1973, we lived in a world without social media or even widespread use of the Internet. Today individuals can easily learn about candidates and contribute directly to the campaign of their choosing online. The institution of inexpensive or free social media strategies certainly has increased the ability of candidates to raise money. “History has proven that public assistance is no longer needed for |
IRS Attacks Foundational Freedom The first and arguably most foundational amendment to the United States Constitution clearly states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” As a result of these wise words penned and adopted by our forefathers more than 220 years ago, regardless of religious or political beliefs, the framework was established to protect one’s right to hold and exercise their personal beliefs. Last month, however, we uncovered an assault on this foundational right when a Cincinnati branch of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was exposed for purposefully targeting conservative and religious groups seeking tax-exempt status, most noticeably those associated with the tea party. This targeting had been taking place since at least February 2010 and involved drawing out a usually quick process for months and months or leaving applicants in limbo—neither approved nor denied.
