LANDRY: When Delusion Drives Diplomacy
The Benghazi cover-up attempts to dodge blame for policy failure In July 2011, I did something I never thought I would do as a member of Congress: I voted for a bill introduced by then-Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich, the liberal... (Continue reading)
LANDRY: Why Jindal Is Right To Reject Medicaid Expansion
Right now, the Louisiana Legislature is considering legislation to force Governor Jindal to accept the Medicaid expansion portion of Obamacare, and some Republican legislators are supporting it. While I may not agree with our governor 100 percent of the time,... (Continue reading)
LANDRY: Who’s To Blame For The Sequester? Washington Is!
In August 2011, just like today, there was no shortage of political propaganda. Except back then, both the President and Speaker John Boehner were both praising their Debt Ceiling Increase deal. Obama was claiming it was a positive step forward... (Continue reading)
LANDRY: Fighting Obama’s Unconstitutional Recess Appointments

LANDRY: Why We’re Losing the Messaging War

LANDRY: The NAT GAS Act Is A Republican Sellout
The elections are over, and the Republican Party continues to face an identity crisis – a crisis created by insincere Republican candidates continually promising conservative voters an end to big government and crony capitalism. The truth is the GOP is... (Continue reading)
LANDRY: Boehner Will Lead Us To The Loss Of The House In 2014
It’s an embarrassing time to be a Republican Congressman—albeit an outgoing Congressman. As negotiators, we utterly failed to meet our two objectives: to reduce spending and prevent tax increases. President Obama demanded tax increases with small spending cuts, and that’s... (Continue reading)
LANDRY: Guarantee Liberty, Support H.R. 3676
235 years ago, 56 brave patriots signed their names to a document declaring all individuals are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Today, we find these rights... (Continue reading)
LANDRY: Why I Refuse To Play The Washington Game
Yesterday, Washington politicians failed to take responsibility for their actions. Instead of working for real solutions to our debt crisis or finding actual answers to our fiscal challenges, they wasted an entire day debating a resolution whose singular purpose is... (Continue reading)
‘Super’ Politicians Fail the American People
On Monday, the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction – better known as the Super Committee – announced what many of us already knew: they’re not so super after all. I’m not surprised by the news because “super” politicians in... (Continue reading)
JEFF LANDRY: Why I Didn’t Go To The White House
Much has been said about my respectful refusal of the President’s invitation to the White House to discuss raising the debt ceiling from its current level of $14.3 trillion. I have the utmost respect for the Presidency, Congress, and the... (Continue reading)

Quote Of The Day, June 19, 2013
“The nature of the encroachment upon American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer; it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners, and the pensioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity and frugality become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole of society. ”- John Adams
