— Mike Quigley (@RepMikeQuigley) January 21, 2015

A microcosm of the country where D's and R's and I's, good people of every ethnicity and every faith, share certain bedrock values. #SOTU

— Congressman Bill Foster (@RepBillFoster) January 21, 2015

Me too, Mr. President! I'm ready to work. "I still believe that together, we can do great things, even when the odds are long." #SOTU

#ObamaCare is cutting hours & wages for hardworking families costing economy equivalent of 2.3 million jobs #SOTU pic.twitter.com/aJ6VRoSrO6

#SOTU proposals increase the reliance on, and the power of, the federal government. http://t.co/0fgyRVIBMX

Glad to hear #POTUS talk about #Gitmo – we can’t wait another decade to shut it down. My @washingtonpost op-ed http://t.co/o7xrxtGcOX #SOTU

Persecuting any one group of people endangers us all. Persecution of women, religious minorities, and the LGBT community must end. #SOTU

— Congressmember Bass (@RepKarenBass) January 21, 2015

Closing Guantanamo Bay is deeply misguided. It plays an important role in combating terrorism and keeping the American people safe. #SOTU

Good comments on the need for stronger cybersecurity, addressing a real 21st century threat. #SOTU

The few Dems who applauded when Obama said he'd veto Iran Sanctions bill shows we wld be able to override the veto

— Chuck Grassley (@ChuckGrassley) January 21, 2015

#Obama says he's integrating intel 2 combat cyber threats like he combats terror. Might work as long as #NorthKorea isnt JV like #ISIL #SOTU

— Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (@RosLehtinen) January 21, 2015

I agree with #POTUS. We must focus on the unprecedented and increasing number of data breaches. #cybersecurity

— Elijah E. Cummings (@RepCummings) January 21, 2015

Consumer protection is paramount. I want to make sure companies are better prepared to protect consumer data. #SOTU

— Gus Bilirakis (@RepGusBilirakis) January 21, 2015

It would be foolish of Congress to impose new sanctions & risk giving #Iran an excuse to walk away from these critial talks. #SOTU

You want a job done right? Hire a veteran. #SOTU

— Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) January 21, 2015

I have heard nothing about getting spending under control & tackling our $18 trillion debt. That would leave a lasting legacy. #SOTU

— Rep. Randy Hultgren (@RepHultgren) January 21, 2015

Raising taxes doesn't create jobs. We need to focus on cutting spending, reducing the debt, and getting Americans to work. #SOTU2015

— Lynn Westmoreland (@Westmoreland_GA) January 21, 2015

We need pro-growth tax reform Mr. President, not higher taxes. #ObamaTaxes #TaxReform

— Kevin Brady (@RepKevinBrady) January 21, 2015

First bill passed by this new Congress was #HireMoreHeroes. If POTUS wants to help veterans find jobs, he should sign this bill.

— Kevin McCarthy (@SpeakerMcCarthy) January 21, 2015

Obama just claimed you can't raise a family on $7.25 hr. NEWS FLASH: you can't do it on $10.10 hr either! #sotu

Ready to work with the President and with anyone else to fix our country’s problems. Let's start by repealing and replacing Ocare #SOTU

Instead of working with us to alleviate some burdens of #Obamacare, the pres. threatens to veto our common sense solutions. #SOTU
