Washington, D.C. –Today, Rep Tim Walberg invited all high school students from the 7th district to participate in this year's annual Congressional Art Competition. The winning piece of art will be displayed in the Cannon Tunnel to the U.S. Capitol, along with the winners from the other congressional districts across the country. In addition, the winner will receive two round trip airline tickets to Washington, D.C. so that he or she can attend the ribbon cutting ceremony in June and see their artwork proudly displayed.
Bedford Lions Club members last week celebrated a relationship and an anniversary with an establishment here they have come to know well.
They gathered at the Erie Restaurant, their usual meeting spot twice a month, and had southern fried chicken, the same meal they enjoyed the first time they met there 31 years earlier.
Congressional Republicans Thursday stepped up their criticism of the Obama administration over what they say is a free pass being given to defense companies facing major layoffs from looming federal spending cuts.
Washington, D.C. – Rep Walberg voted in favor of H.R. 273, which prevents Members of Congress, the President's Cabinet, the Vice President, and other non-military federal employees from receiving an automatic pay-raise. The legislation would overturn an Executive Order issued by President Obama in December 2012 to provide federal employees with a 0.5 percent pay raise. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the President's Executive Order will cost $11 billion over ten years.
Washington, D.C. - Rep Walberg released the following statement following the President's State of the Union Address:
"It's disappointing the president has yet to produce a budget but then still calls for even more stimulus spending and higher taxes. We need to build a healthy economy to help hardworking taxpayers by making government live within its means and pursuing tax reform to encourage small business job creation and bring jobs back to America. I hope we can work together, in a thoughtful manner, to build a better future in Michigan."

U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Tipton, says the nation is in a fiscal fix because citizens have become too reliant upon government.
But the lawmaker says he's confident that in the weeks ahead progress will be made on framing a budget that includes a House proposal for surgical cuts that minimize the impact of sequester — massive automatic cuts in government spending across the board.
