On Wednesday night, I participated in a 13-hour long House Budget Committee meeting that ended at about midnight. It’s amazing what you learn about the American economy and the federal budget when you talk about it for that long.

Rep. Aderhot Op-Ed: Why I Voted Against The Bailout
The vote that I cast in opposition to the $700 Billion Bailout Plan is one of the most difficult votes I have cast since my time as representative of the 4th Congressional District of Alabama and definitely the most difficult vote during this 110th Congress.
Congressional Leaders Should Allow Oil Exploration in the OSC
This week marks the 5th straight week of a decrease in gas prices as Alabamians are now paying about $3.55 per gallon of gasoline, according to AAA.
