He served one term as President (1825–1829) and then returned to Congress where he spent the remainder of his political career pursuing abolitionist motives. He was the son of President [[John Adams]] and [[Abigail Adams]]. After graduating from Harvard College, he became a lawyer. At 26 he was appointed Minister to the Netherlands by President George Washington, then promoted to the Berlin Legation. In 1802 Adams was elected to the US Senate and 6 years later President Madison appointed him the first U.S. Minister of Russia. John Quincy Adams served as one of the great Secretaries of State under President [[James Monroe]],arranging with England for the joint occupation of the Oregon Country, obtaining from Spain the cessation of the Floridas, and helping to formulate the [[Monroe Doctrine]].<br /> He died in Washington D.C. February 23, 1848. &lt;ref&gt; [[Encyclopedia of Presidents John Quincy Adams]] by Zachary Kent, Children's Press&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Early Life==<br /> He was born in Braintree, Massachusetts (which would later be renamed Quincy) on July 11, 1767 to John and Abigail Adams. He was encouraged by his parents to study hard and cultivate his mind. As the [[American Revolutionary War]] broke out many refugees,from areas near the battle sites, stayed at the Adams household. When his father was sent as an ambassador to France by the Continental Congress, John Quincy went with him. He would remain in Europe for the next nine years. While in France he studied at the Passy Academy. Later John Adams sent his son to the Dutch University of Leiden, where he was able to study for two years and learn both Latin and Greek. When American Diplomat, Francis Dana, looked for a interpreter to travel with him to Russia, John Quincy, who knew Russian, volunteered. They remained in Russia for over a year waiting for the Russians to open talks with them. While in Russia, John Quincy studied hard in St.Petersburg, until they finally left. He returned to his father in Hague, Holland. John Quincy assisted John Adams, as a secretary, while his father served as an ambassador to the many European nations. He returned to America and attended Harvard College, from which he graduated in July 1787. He then learned law, while serving as a clerk in Newport, Massachusetts. After [[Thomas Paine]] published a pamphlet criticizing President [[Washington]]'s policies and Federal Powers, John Quincy wrote a series of articles called Publicola, defending the President. He worked in law for two years until appointed by Washington as U.S. minister to Holland. &lt;ref&gt; [[Encyclopedia of Presidents John Quincy Adams]] by Zachary Kent, Children's Press&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Public Service==<br /> He eventually arrived in Holland as ambassador during a time of war. The French had invaded Holland and for a time was in great danger of being exterminated. Fortunately, the French were defeated by the Dutch armies, after which he returned to America to wait for a new government to be established. While at home he was engaged to a Miss Louisa Catherine Johnson. They were eventually married on July 26, 1797. He continued his work as diplomat to Holland, until he was chosen as the minister to Portugal. But before he could leave, his father, John Adams, became President of the United States. John Adams chose his son to go as ambassador to Prussia, instead of Portugal. He kept the post successfully for the next four years. His father though was a very unpopular President and lost the 1800 election to [[Thomas Jefferson]]. Because of this John Quincy returned home to his family with his wife and son, George. He was later elected in 1803 to the U.S. Senate representing Massachusetts. Although supported by Federalists, he often differed from their policies. One way in which he angered the Federalists was by supporting Thomas Jefferson's purchase of the Louisiana territory. He also supported Jefferson's demand for a British Trade Embargo for firing on the American Frigate, the Chesapeake. Because he angered his former allies in the Massachusetts Legislature, he was removed from office in 1808. In 1809 the new President, [[James Madison]] appointed Adams to be the diplomat to Russia. He remained there, even when [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] invaded Russia unsuccessfully. His career as a diplomat was immensely successful. Adams also helped the U.S. and Great Britain to reach and sign the Treaty of Ghent. He also served as the Ambassador to Great Britain. Then from 1817 to 1825 Adams served as the Secretary of State under [[James Monroe]]. During his time in Monroe's cabinet, Adams helped Monroe to formulate the famous Monroe Doctrine. &lt;ref&gt; [[Encyclopedia of Presidents John Quincy Adams]] by Zachary Kent, Children's Press&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Election to the Presidency==<br /> As the 1824 Presidential race drew near people began looking for candidates. New England voters admired Adams' patriotism and political skills and it was mainly due to their support that he entered the race. Several candidates opposed him such as [[John C. Calhoun]], [[William Crawford]], [[Henry Clay]] and the hero of New Orleans, [[Andrew Jackson]]. During the campaign Calhoun dropped out, and Crawford fell ill giving further support to the other candidates. When the election day came, Andrew Jackson won, although narrowly, the Popular and Electoral vote. However, because no candidate received a clear majority, a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives was necessary. Thanks to the support of Henry Clay, who realized he couldn't win the election, Adams held the majority of 13 states. &lt;ref&gt; [[Encyclopedia of Presidents John Quincy Adams]] by Zachary Kent, Children's Press&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Presidency==<br /> Adams aroused suspicion by appointing Henry Clay as his Secretary of State, Adams defended his decision saying that Clay was the right man for the job. One of his priorities while being the President was supporting many public projects such as military academies, universities, canals, and even an astronomical observation tower. Often he had difficulty convincing Congress to enact these kind of work projects. Adams was President when the 50th Independence day happened, on which both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died ironically. The Presidency also saw the return of the elderly Marquis de Lafayette to America. John Quincy Adams' term in office was one of progression and industry, but for Adams himself one of discouragement and unpopularity, which followed Adams all the way to the end of his term.&lt;ref&gt; [[Encyclopedia of Presidents John Quincy Adams]] by Zachary Kent, Children's Press&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Public Office after Presidency==<br /> After being defeated by Andrew Jackson, Adams retired in Quincy, Massachusetts. However, in 1830 he ran and won a seat in the House of Representatives. While many speculated that Adams ran solely to earn money, this was not the case, as he had sufficient funds to last him the rest of his life. Adams probably ran for his Congressional seat for a combination of several reasons, chief among them the fact that he tried to raise his children in the same way he was raised, which is to say they spent lots of time away from home, which had a very negative impact on one of his sons, who died untimely. Adams, a former president, may have subjected himself to the humiliation of serving as a freshman Congressman as a sort of penance. <br /> <br /> Adams most dedicated work in Congress was against slavery. He protested the gag rule, as well as the [[Mexican-American War]]. In a dramatic statement on the floor of the House, he protested, during a vote on the gag rule, &quot;I hold the resolution to be a direct violation of the Constitution of the United States, the rules of this House, and the rights of my constituents.&quot; Adams was known for his sharp, insightful speeches, as well as his savage attacks of his opponents. He was referred to as &quot;the old man&quot; just as often as &quot;old man eloquent.&quot; His battle against the gag rule finally bore fruit as it was eventually repealed.<br /> <br /> He suffered a stroke on February 21, 1848. He died two days later in the evening of February 23, 1848 in the capital of Washington D.C. &lt;ref&gt; [[Encyclopedia of Presidents John Quincy Adams]] by Zachary Kent, Children's Press&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Miscellaneous Facts==<br /> *The French aristocrat and American hero, the [[Marquis de Lafayette]], gave John Quincy Adams an alligator as a pet. Adams kept it in a bathroom in the White House until he left office in 1829. <br /> <br /> *Adams was also responsible for the first installation in the White House of a pool table. Among his more unusual hobbies, he regularly went skinny dipping in the [[Potomac]] river. The first American female professional journalist, Anne Royall, knew of Adams' habit of taking nude swims at 5 a.m. She had frequently asked for interviews with him and been refused, so she went to the river and sat on his clothes until he answered her questions, becoming the first woman to interview a president.<br /> <br /> *Adams was the first president to have his photo taken (April 13, 1843). [http://www.classroomhelp.com/lessons/Presidents/qadams.html]<br /> <br /> *His wife was the only foreign First Lady America has ever had and kept silk worms in order to have gowns made from their products. <br /> <br /> *He is one of the two Presidents to have had his father previously elected President. The only other instance is [[George W. Bush]].<br /> <br /> *He is the only President to have entered Congress ''after'' being President. <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> {{USPresidents}}<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Adams, John Quincy}}<br /> [[Category:Presidents of the United States]]</div>

He was the only [[Democrat]] elected to the Presidency in the [[Republican]] dynasty that lasted from 1850s to when [[Woodrow Wilson]] was President. Many contemporary politicians praise him for his commitment to [[conservative]] thinking. Much like modern conservatives he opposed imperialism, corruption, patronage, corporate subsidies, taxes and inflation. <br /> <br /> Cleveland was famous for busting the union train saboteurs during the Pullman strike of 1894 which angered the unions. He was also a big supporter of gold and a sworn enemy of silver. Even though he was the sitting President, unions and silver people kicked him out of the party, eventually, signifying a drastic shift of the Democrats to the left and leading to the nomination of [[William Jennings Bryan]] in 1896.<br /> <br /> ==Early Days==<br /> <br /> Cleveland was born in Baldwell, New Jersey on March 18, 1837. &lt;ref&gt;[[Encyclopedia of Presidents, Grover Cleveland]], by Zachary Kent, Children's Press, 1988.&lt;/ref&gt; He had five brothers and four sisters. His father was a [[Presbyterian]] clergyman, and moved around a lot. His second brother was hanged for murder in Utah in 1882.<br /> <br /> He avoided the draft in the [[Civil War]] by hiring somebody else to take his place.<br /> <br /> He graduated from Princeton and became a lawyer in [[Buffalo]] New York. After being a lawyer, he was elected sheriff of [[Erie]] in 1870 and hung many people while in office personally. He was a strong supporter of the Death Penalty.<br /> <br /> He was a big friend of [[Teddy Roosevelt]]. When he was 40 he ran for Mayor of Buffalo and won. Many people praised his honesty and he was very popular. In 1882, he was elected Governor.<br /> <br /> ==As President==<br /> Both Democrats and Republicans voted for Cleveland for President because his opponent, James G. Blaine, was tarnished with allegations of corruption. Part of Blaine's problem centered around a suspicious letter which terminated with the words, &quot;burn this letter.&quot; Blaine's detractors would march and chant &quot;Burn, Burn, Burn this letter!&quot;<br /> <br /> In a similar manner, Cleveland opponents sought to use the fact that he had an illegitimate child against him. However Cleveland, nicknamed &quot;Grover the Good,&quot; proved himself to be a man of integrity; rather than denying the allegations, he owned up to the fact that he had an illegitimate child. Even though Cleveland's opponents would shout, &quot;Ma, Ma, where's my Pa?&quot;, his supporters had a trenchant rejoinder, &quot;Gone to the White House! Ha Ha Ha!&quot; <br /> <br /> ===Personal life===<br /> Grover Cleveland in June 1886 was married to Frances Folsom Cleveland in the [[white house]]. This was the second President married in office, and also married in the White House itself. Some were offended that Celveland was marrying somebody who was 21 years old and his legal guardian too. The Clevelands had many children while in office.<br /> <br /> ===Actions as President===<br /> Cleveland voted against many spending bills and Government ideas, making him the first modern [[Conservative]]. He vetoed a bill to give $10,000 to distribute seed grain among drought-stricken farmers in Texas, and said: &quot;Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character....&quot; He also blocked funding to Civil War veterans, which some said was good but some said went too far. Cleveland used the veto a lot but said he did not like Presidential power and thought the best thing he could do was to stop congress from doing bad things.<br /> <br /> In 1886 Geronimo was captured by Grover Cleveland, ending the Indian wars. <br /> <br /> The same year in October Cleveland finished the [[Statue of Liberty]] in [[New York]] and read its dedication in fluent French, as a tribute to its creator, Jean Renoir.<br /> <br /> Critics criticizing Cleveland criticize him for signing the Interstate Commerce Act this term, the first critical attempt at Federal regulation.<br /> <br /> ===Against Tarrifs===<br /> In 1887 Cleveland began to battle the tariff. Unlike today [[Republicans]] claimed a high tariff made for high wages, high profits, and fast economic expansion. Cleveland was not able to kill the tariff, and was defeated in 1888 because of it. <br /> <br /> ===Military Buildup===<br /> A very conservative man, Cleveland did not think the United States should invade another country for any reason. However, Cleveland also was in favor of having a strong national defense, and built up the U.S. navy to a huge extent. [[Teddy Roosevelt]] was his secretary of the Navy.<br /> <br /> ==1888 campaign==<br /> Cleveland lost in 1888 to Republican [[Benjamin Harrison|Benjamin Harrison]], one of the few times the Republican was less conservative than the Democrat. Harrison won the Electoral College by a 204-197 margin, but Cleveland won the popular vote. This was the last campaign prior to the 2000 Bush and Gore presidential election that the winner did not receive the popular vote.<br /> <br /> ==2nd Presidency==<br /> Cleveland campaigned to reduce the tariff and stopping the silver people which had lessened the gold reserves of the U.S. Treasury. Cleveland became the only person ever elected president twice when he was elected again in 1892.<br /> <br /> ===As President===<br /> Like [[George W. Bush]], Cleveland was beset by a stock market crash shortly after becoming president. He successfully navigated the country out of that crisis.<br /> <br /> 1884 was the year of the famous Pullman strike in Chicago, where workers tried to stop delivering the mail. He sent the army to Chicago to battle the unionizers, saying that &quot;If it takes the entire army and navy of the United States to deliver a postcard in Chicago that card will be delivered.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Second Tarriff War==<br /> Again he tried to kill the tariff in 1893. The &quot;Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act&quot; was very good at first, but when it went through the Senate it became very bad and filled with loopholes. However, the bill eventually was passed and the tarrif was partially killed, but not enough so that Cleveland refused to sign the bill. <br /> <br /> Liberals took over the Democrats in 1896 and with the help of Populist firebrand William Jennings Bryan tried to end the use of gold and protectionism. Jennings lost the Presidency in 1896 and 1900, but in 1904 conservatives and Cleveland came back, and nominated successful candidate (although he did not win because of the strong candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt) Alton Parker.<br /> <br /> ==Military==<br /> Cleveland was good at pushing around the English without evoking war, and did a lot of stuff with the power of his Navy, which he continued to build. This Navy was so strong it helped to bring about a quick American victory in the [[Spanish-American war]] in 1898 when Cleveland was out of office.<br /> <br /> At first Cleveland did not support the revolutionaries in Hawaii who in 1894 overthrew the queen and established a Democracy. In fact, he tried to discredit their actions via the controversial Blount Report issued by [[James Henderson Blount]] under his direction. Later, however, he supported the revolutionaries when the Queen demanded the death of every single one.<br /> <br /> ===Death and Later Life===<br /> <br /> Cleveland, nicknamed 'the Growler', retired to [[Princeton]]. There he became enemies with Woodrow Wilson, who was President of the school. Some people wanted him to run again in 1904, but he was too old. Sometimes President Theodore Roosevelt asked him for advice.<br /> <br /> Cleveland died on June 24, 1908 from a heart and kidney disease, with his wife at his side. He is buried in the Princeton Cemetery. &lt;ref&gt; [[Encyclopedia of Presidents]] by Zachary Kent, Chicago Press, 1988. &lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Honors and memorials==<br /> Cleveland has been on many dollar bills, including the $1000 bill and some of the first $50 bills before Andrew Jackson was put on.<br /> <br /> He will be on two dollar coins to be released in 2012 like every other president will, except one for each presidency.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> <br /> *He is both the 22nd ''and'' the 24th President because this confused people and he had to be proclaimed both presidents so the issue was cleared up.<br /> <br /> *The baseball player Grover Cleveland Alexander was named after him.<br /> <br /> * A riverboat known as the Cleveland Steamer was named after him.<br /> <br /> *Cleveland's grandson is a Presidential impersonator.<br /> <br /> *Cleveland's granddaughter Foot is a philosopher at Oxford.<br /> <br /> *Many people said Cleveland was harsh to the poor, but he just favored personal accountability.<br /> <br /> *Cleveland was the only police officer to ever become president.<br /> <br /> * Grover Cleveland's last words were &quot;I have tried so hard to do right.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *[http://www.usa-presidents.info/speeches/hawaii.html President Cleveland Message about Hawaii December 18, 1893] - Cleveland's message where he tried to discredit the Hawaiian Revolution.

<p>Ore765: /* Senator */</p> <hr /> <div>'''Huey Long''' was an American Democratic politician from [[Louisiana]] during the late twenties to the mid thirties. He was the [[governor]] of Louisiana from 1928-1932 and [[U.S. Senator|Senator]] from Louisiana from 1932-1935.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Governor ==<br /> While governor of Louisiana , he was tried for impeachment after he tried to impose a five-cent tax on oil to pay for his social programs. The State Legislature did not approve of this and tried to impeach him. This backfired, and Huey Long went after his enemies fiercely.<br /> <br /> == Senator ==<br /> Long challenged incumbent Senator Joseph Ransdell for his seat in the United Syayes Senate and won. However, his Senate term began in 1931, but his term as governor did not expire until May of 1932. Long continued as governor until his hand chosen successor, O.K. Allen was elected.<br /> <br /> While serving as Senator, Huey Long originally supported the [[New Deal]] program, but later he recanted his support for it. He wanted [[Franklin Roosevelt|President Roosevelt]] to implement a &quot;Share Our Wealth&quot; program in which no American could have a personal fortune of more than $5,000,000, receive an income of greater than $1,000,000, or receive an inheritance of over $5,000,000. Any money earned after this would be divvied up and supposedly families would receive $2,000 to $2,500.<br /> <br /> == Death ==<br /> Huey Long was assassinated September 8, 1935 by Carl Weiss, a medical doctor. Carl was then shot to death by Long's bodyguards. Carl's family denies that he shot him, and rather some suggest that Carl merely punched Long and that one of the stray bullets of the bodyguards had hit Long.<br /> <br /> Huey Long's book, ''My First Days in the White House'', was published posthumously.<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Long,Huey}}<br /> <br /> [[category:Political people]]</div>

He angrily referred to them as &quot;idiot liberals&quot; and said that they are &quot;smoking something that ain't legal.&quot; Obey has also been in the news regarding the ongoing battle in the House of representatives to abolish the practice of earmarks.

<p>Ore765: /* Coburn's Earmark Fight */</p> <hr /> <div>The Honorable Tom Coburn, M.D. United States Senator from Oklahoma<br /> <br /> == Background Information ==<br /> &quot;In 1970, Dr. Coburn graduated with an accounting degree from Oklahoma State University. One of the Top Ten seniors in the School of Business, Dr. Coburn served as president of the College of Business Student Council.<br /> <br /> From 1970 to 1978, Dr. Coburn served as manufacturing manager at the Ophthalmic Division of Coburn Optical Industries in Colonial Heights, Virginia. Under his leadership, the Virginia division of Coburn Optical grew from 13 employees to more than 350 and captured 35 percent of the U.S. market.<br /> <br /> After the family business was sold, Dr. Coburn changed the course of his life by returning to school to become a physician. Again he emerged as a leader, becoming president of his class at the University of Oklahoma Medical School where he graduated in 1983. He then did his internship in general surgery at St. Anthony's Hospital in Oklahoma City and family practice residency at the University of Arkansas, Fort Smith.<br /> <br /> Dr. Coburn returned to Muskogee where he specializes in family medicine, obstetrics and the treatment of allergies. Dr. Coburn and his associates serve more than 15,000 patients for whom he has personally delivered more than 4,000 babies.<br /> <br /> Dr. Coburn also is a two-time cancer survivor.<br /> <br /> Dr. Coburn and his wife, Carolyn, a former Miss Oklahoma, were married in 1968 and have three children and four grandchildren. They are members of Muskogee's New Community Church.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;http://www.coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=AboutSenatorCoburn.Biography&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == A Citizen Legislator ==<br /> <br /> &quot;Dr. Coburn represented Oklahoma's Second Congressional District in the House of Representatives from 1995 through 2001. He was first elected in 1994, then re-elected in 1996 and 1998, becoming the first Republican to hold the seat for consecutive terms. Dr. Coburn retired from Congress in 2001, fulfilling his pledge to serve no more than three terms in the House.&quot; &lt;ref&gt;http://coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=AboutSenatorCoburn.Biography&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> When Coburn was first elected in to the House of Representatives in 1994, the year of the Republican Revolution he stated from the beginning that he would only serve three terms (if he was re-elected each time). Coburn believes in the idea of a term limited citizen legislator. In other words, a citizen who serves in Congress for several years and then goes home to live under the laws they have helped to create. <br /> <br /> == Coburn's Activities in the House ==<br /> <br /> &quot;During his tenure in the House, Dr. Coburn wrote and passed far-reaching legislation. These include laws to expand seniors' health care options, to protect access to home health care in rural areas and to allow Americans to access cheaper medications from Canada and other nations. Dr. Coburn also wrote a law intended to prevent baby AIDS. The Wall Street Journal said about the law, &quot;In 10 long years of AIDS politics and funding, this is actually the first legislation to pass in this country that will rescue babies.&quot; He also wrote a law to renew and reform federal AIDS care programs. <br /> <br /> During his three terms in the House, Dr. Coburn also played an influential role in reforming welfare and other federal entitlement programs. He led efforts to balance the budget, offering countless amendments to trim the bloated federal budget.&quot; &lt;ref&gt;http://www.coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=AboutSenatorCoburn.Biography&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> == The Interlude ==<br /> <br /> &quot;In 2002, President George Bush chose Dr. Coburn to serve as co-chair of the President's Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA).&quot;&lt;ref&gt;http://www.coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=AboutSenatorCoburn.Biography&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == The Road to the Senate ==<br /> <br /> In 2004, however, Coburn decided to return to public life and ran for and won a seat as a United States Senator from Oklahoma. In keeping with the idea of the citizen legislator, Coburn has promised to serve only two terms in the Senate.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=AboutSenatorCoburn.Biography&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Coburn's Earmark Fight ==<br /> In an article entitled, &quot;Week of July 18, 2007,&quot; columnist Robert D. Novak discussed the continuing anti-earmakr fight by several member of the Upper and Lower Houses of Congress, Tom Cobunr among them. <br /> <br /> &quot;Senators Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) will continue in the Senate the anti-earmark fight that Representatives Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Jeb Hensarling (R-Tex.) have been fighting in the House. Two Senate amendments to the Defense bill will target an earmark by one of Flake's favorite targets, Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), and a Nebraska defense company. Two other amendments will require a competition to determine the best rifle for U.S. soldiers and require competitive contract processes for winning earmarked Defense money. Coburn leads the charge in stripping individual earmarks, while DeMint pushes for new transparency rules.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;http://www.www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=21588&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> On his website, Coburn also provides an explanation of why he is fighting against earmarks in addition to a scorecard of what he has done during the 109th and 110th Congresses. <br /> <br /> &quot;I ran for the Senate, in part, to reduce wasteful Washington, D.C. spending, reprioritize spending to ensure essential needs are not compromised by parochial political interests and to reform the way our government spends money. Our national debt now surpasses $8.7 trillion, important programs like Social Security and Medicare are in danger of bankruptcy, our nation is fighting a global War on Terro and we still are paying for costs associated with the most expensive natural disaster in our nation’s history.<br /> <br /> Every family in America must make decisions that require prioritizing and financial restraint to meet their financial situation and expect the government to do the same. But politicians in Washington have for too long avoided making tough decisions and have prioritized their next election over the next generation. Clearly this in not the time for business as usual in Washington and the borrow and spend mentality must come to an end if we are to ensure that the next generation of Americans inherit the same standard of living and that our seniors can enjoy financial security during their retirement years.<br /> <br /> The following is a summary of the amendments I have offered on the Senate floor to reduce wasteful Washington spending and to reform the budget process. While many of these amendments have been unsuccessful — often losing in lopsided votes — I believe it is important not to be discouraged and to continue to press for change and fiscal responsibility in Washington. The future of our country, after all, depends upon it.&quot; &lt;ref&gt;http://www.coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=ConstituentServices.PorkBusters&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Coburn's Senate Activities ==<br /> <br /> &quot;Dr. Coburn's priorities in the Senate include reducing wasteful spending, balancing the budget, improving health care access and affordability, protecting the sanctity of all human life - including the unborn - and representing traditional, Oklahoma values. As a citizen legislator, Dr. Coburn has pledged to serve no more than two terms in the Senate and to continue to care for patients. He is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, the Indian Affairs Committee and the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.&quot; &lt;ref&gt;http://www.coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=AboutSenatorCoburn.Biography&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> [[Category:US Senators]]</div>

<p>Ore765: /* Coburn's Earmark Fight */</p> <hr /> <div>The Honorable Tom Coburn, M.D.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Background Information ==<br /> In 1970, Dr. Coburn graduated with an accounting degree from Oklahoma State University.
