To keep the residents and voters of the Gulf Coast appraised of the events taking place in Washington, DC, and of their Mississippi Congressional Representative, Steve Palazzo's position on doing the peoples work through government business, the following excerpts were prepared by Hank Richards at the Examiner.com for Palazzo's constituent publication.
Said Representative Steve Palazzo, "I was disappointed to see House Democrats united against a balanced budget amendment (BBA). American families sit down at their kitchen tables and balance their checkbooks and bank accounts to make sure they live within their means. The federal government should do the same . .
The fact is that the President and House Democrats overwhelming opposed this legislation should not be surprising when you consider the series of failed economic policies passed under Democrat leadership . .

I remain committed to ensuring our nation’s budget is not balanced on the back of our men and women in uniform, veterans and their families. Nowhere is this truer than in South Mississippi where our multi-billion dollar military industry is a pillar of our economy and way of life . .
The downgrading of our credit rating rattled our economic standing in the world, but further defense cuts would have severe economic costs beyond what America has previously endured . .
Our South Mississippi economy as well as the economy and defense of our nation depend on it. My message is to focus on the real drivers of our debt and not the defender of our prosperity . .
As a Marine Gulf War Veteran, a Sergeant in the Army National Guard and a Member of House Armed Services Committee, I am fighting day and night to avoid one single penny in additional cuts to defense."
