Chuck Fleischmann for Congress

The President's Stubbornness is Hurting Americans

Chuck Fleischmann — Wed, 08 May 2013 09:00:00 EST

For purely political reasons, the Obama Administration continues to drag its feet on approving the Keystone Pipeline project. This month my Republican colleagues and I will bring to the floor legislation to expedite construction of the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline.

Obama’s Angry Press Conference Underscores That the Fight Is Not Over

Chuck Fleischmann — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 04:30:00 EST

Forcing law abiding citizens to give up their guns will not stop criminals from committing violent acts. That’s a fact that is lost on President Obama. Plain and simple, the 2 nd Amendment guarantees our right to own and possess firearms. Tennesseans understand and hold firm to that guarantee.

The IRS is Knocking on Our Door

Chuck Fleischmann — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 07:30:00 EST

Tax Day is right around the corner. Are you willing to give the government more of your hard earned money?

Tell The President - We Support the Second Amendment

Chuck Fleischmann — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:30:00 EST

I am fighting hard to protect the Second Amendment. Will you join me in this battle?

Do you support the President's efforts to restrict our Second Amendment Rights?

Chuck Fleischmann — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 10:30:00 EST

The President and his liberal allies are determined to move quickly on gun control legislation that will severely limit our Second Amendment rights. Senator Dianne Feinstein of California has proposed legislation that would ban virtually every sporting rifle and would have no sunset provisions.

On the “Top 10” Target List

Chuck Fleischmann — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 03:30:00 EST

This morning I got a dose of “political reality.” Less than 2 weeks after President Obama’s Inauguration, I opened the paper and read that Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat Leadership are already back to playing politics and targeting Republican candidates all across the country. (You don’t have to take my word for it, the link to the Politico article is at the bottom of this note.)

Why I Introduced the "Refund Act"

Chuck Fleischmann — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 09:00:00 EST

As soon as we opened the 113th Congress, I introduced two bills that I believe will help our economy and immediately reduce our debt. One of these Bills is called the "REFUND Act" (Returned Exclusively for Unpaid National Debt Act).

Why I Believe in the Second Amendment

Chuck Fleischmann — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:30:00 EST

On December 17, 1791, the Second Amendment was ratified as part of the “Bill of Rights.” The text is very brief: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Starting 2013 The Right Way

Chuck Fleischmann — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 09:30:00 EST

The new year brings new resolutions and fresh starts and that’s exactly what we need in Washington. It’s time we see the end to partisan politics and find a way to work together to solve the critical issues facing or nation. There is simply too much at stake. And the...

Why the Fiscal Cliff is Really a Jobs Cliff

Chuck Fleischmann — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 04:00:00 EST

If you listen to the media, you will be convinced that the number one problem facing our country is the deficit - and the pending fiscal cliff. But as I travel around the third District of Tennessee I hear a very different thing from my constituents. They tell me the number one problem facing them and their families is a lack of good jobs. Sure, it's important to deal with our fiscal crisis. But we really need to address the jobs crisis.

Give Thanks to Our Veterans

Chuck Fleischmann — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:30:00 EST

On Veterans Day - this Sunday - our nation pauses to give thanks to the servicemen and women of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, who risk their lives to defend our freedom.

Thank You

Chuck Fleischmann — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:00:00 EST

I am honored to be elected to a 2nd term. I am looking forward to continuing to fight for our conservative values.

Chuck Fleischmann — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:30:00 EST

It's Time!

Chuck Fleischmann — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 12:30:00 EST

The recent jobs report is all the proof we need to understand that it is time to elect Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to lead our country. America deserves better than anemic job growth. President Obama can try to spin the report any way he wants, but the American people are too smart. ...

The Choice Is Yours

Chuck Fleischmann — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 10:30:00 EST

Rarely has America faced such a clear choice. Democrats have told us that we belong to the government. Republicans insist that the government belongs to us. That really is the choice on November 6. Do you want a bigger federal government, with more and more people depending on it for their very survival? Or do you want a smaller, leaner federal government, one that works for us?

Our Constitution - A Beacon of Freedom for the World

Chuck Fleischmann — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:30:00 EST

I am honored to have the chance to teach students at Westview Elementary about the Constitution today. September 17 is Constitution Day. On this day, 225 years ago, our founding fathers signed a document that is recognized today as the greatest expression of statesmanship and compromise ever written. It consists of just four hand-written pages, and provides the world and America the owners' manual to the greatest form of government the world has ever known.
