Without question, I'm not a fan of the EPA. The EPA has overstepped their boundaries each and every day. They get into areas they shouldn't be involved in... the states have the right to regulate themselves if they have the ability to do so - and we do because we have the Department of Environmental Quality.

The fundamentals that founded our great nation included the freedom of speech and religion.

When we censor our history by disguising our scars, we belittle this process and the struggles our ancestors fought so hard to overcome. America doesn't cower behind political correctness. It defiantly and courageously moves forward, with its history as a reminder of where we have been.

Markwayne Mullin

We've all lost our temper at some time. Unfortunately, not all of us have done it in a public setting.

It's important for Oklahoma to have people in a position to make a difference. The only way we can do that is to have people in key places.

Markwayne Mullin

The American free enterprise system is the greatest tool to lift people out of poverty ever created in human history and when applied properly, does not discriminate by race, religion, or skin color.

The idea of having to match a pair of socks to your tie or to your pants just doesn't make any sense to me... With boots, you don't have to worry about it. Nobody sees your socks.

Apparently it's acceptable for members of Congress to own stock in companies we regulate in Congress, but somehow, our plumbing company crosses some line.

Native Americans have faced centuries of atrocities to their people, their land, and their culture - all under various presidents who took an oath of office to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Markwayne Mullin

As a Cherokee, I can attest to the fact that Native Americans have been on the losing side of history. Our rights have been infringed upon, our treaties have been broken, our culture has been stolen, and our tribes have been decimated at the hands of our own United States government.

The politicians said Dr. Tom Coburn couldn't deliver babies when he got elected to the U.S. Senate.

You've got to quit judging people just because they have an 'R' or a 'D' in front of their name. We don't do that in Oklahoma.

I never owned a suit until after the election. I got married in jeans and boots. My wife and I, when we went to prom, I was in a pair of jeans.

I'm willing to negotiate, but not compromise my core principles.

Markwayne Mullin

I'm not for raising taxes on anyone - period.

Oklahoma has a respect for our neighbors. That's the Oklahoma standard.

Markwayne Mullin

You've got to build a relationship. You can't just deal with people when it's business. If it is, then you always have to assume that they have an angle when they come at you.

Markwayne Mullin

You've got to respect people; you've got to understand where they come from. We know where people in Oklahoma come from - that's why we get along.

Markwayne Mullin

A person gets pushed down; they think they're being 'body-slammed.' There's really not any certain thing - that came from more fake wrestling - you know, 'the body slam,' being picked up in the air and thrown to the ground. It's all in someone's interpretation of what someone thinks a 'body slam' really is.

Markwayne Mullin

I know if you get mad, and in a world with all the competitors I've been around in my life, either from fighting or wrestling or other sports, you have to learn to breathe.
