Hartzler: It's time to pass the balanced budget amendment
Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler is leading efforts in the U.S. House to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. As part of the August debt limit agreement, the House and Senate will have to vote between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31 on a balanced budget amendment. Hartzler, a co-sponsor of the amendment, is urging Representatives and Senators to approve what is truly the only effective way to get a grip on out-of-control Washington spending — and to pass the balanced budget amendment. “It is time for Washington to live within its means as American families must do,” ...
Hartzler says defense cuts are too drastic
The Super Committee charged with coming up with a trillion dollars in budget recommendationshas failed, and Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler says now defense spending is on the line. She says President Obama has defended those cuts as necessary for balancing the budget, and that’s not the case. She calls him irresponsible as Commander in Cheif to let the funding take a hit. She says the percentage of the budget allocated to defense spending is already the lowest its been in years, and more cuts would cripple national security. But not everyone in Congress agrees. She says she’ll be ...
Hartzler's Gay Marriage Stance Questioned By Student
A Republican congresswoman was put on the defensive this week by a gay student who questioned her controversial views on marriage equality. While speaking to a conservative group in Washington, D.C., at the beginning of June, Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.) likened allowing gay marriage to legalizing polygamy, incest and letting a 3-year-old get a driver's license. "The government has to set some parameters,” Hartzler said. At a public forum in Missouri on Wednesday, a Missouri med student asked Hartzler to explain her views. "We’re not the ones changing the policy, OK, so you ...

Hartzler Amendment to Enable Lower School Lunch Prices, Restore Local Control, Passes the House WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler’s school lunch affordability amendment passed the House late Wednesday. The amendment would restore all control over local lunch prices to the school districts and school boards. Current federal rules require schools to use a formula to determine school lunch prices, but that formula is a one-size fits all approach that is forcing some schools to charge more than they need – or even want – for paid lunches. Hartzler’s amendment corrects this oversight and empowers local school administrators to lower lunch prices as they see fit. “This amendment protects the student lunch program while allowing school lunch decisions to be made at the local level so parents, teachers and administrators can work together to decide what is best for their children,” said Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler (R-MO). “If schools need to raise prices to cover their cost, that won’t change, but if a school wants to lower their prices, the federal govern |
Newsletter: The President Visits Missouri! In this edition: Talking Tax Reform with President Trump Honoring a Missouri Hero It's Good to be Home Dear Friend, Thank you for taking the time to read my newsletter! I’ve had a busy time back in the district and enjoyed seeing so many of you. It’s great to hear the wonderful ideas of how to address the challenges we are facing as a nation from the people I serve. I look forward to taking them back to Washington with me. My heart is with those in Texas suffering the devastation from Hurricane Harvey. Even still, many citizens have demonstrated the true American spirit by rising up to help their neighbors. In fact, many Missourians have gone to Texas to help with the relief effort, and Missouri-based Bass Pro Shops donated over 80 Tracker Boats with motors and life vests to aid rescue and recovery efforts in Texas. Boone County Fire Protection District’s MO Task Force 1 was mobilized and has been a major part in |
Hartzler Statement on DACA Policy Change After the Trump Administration announced changes to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy, Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler (R-MO) released the following statement: "The policy change ends an Obama-era executive overreach while allowing time for the representatives of the people to address this issue,” said Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler. “We need to reform our immigration laws so that those who want to enter our country legally to contribute to our society and better their lives have the opportunity to do so in a fair and timely manner while also respecting our laws and the citizens of this country who abide by the laws every day. I believe we can do both.” |
Hartzler Statement on Continuing Resolution After Friday’s vote on the continuing resolution to fund the government through December, Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler (R-MO) released the following statement: “Today, the House passed a continuing resolution to provide funding for the government for the remainder of the year. While I voted for funding for Hurricane Harvey flood relief earlier in the week and am glad they will get the help they need, that funding measure included legislation that freezes defense spending at current levels and ties the hands of our Defense Department, preventing them from making desperately needed investments to meet the threats we are facing. As a subcommittee chairman on the House Armed Services Committee, I prioritize our national security and service members. The House should have sent the continuing resolution back to the Senate with a defense spending bill that adequately addresses the needs that our military leaders have repeatedly told us are absolutely vital. We are facing dangerous threat |
