We must fully investigate the cause of this tragic accident. BP must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and the lessons learned from this accident should be included as part of strict safety standards for offshore exploration moving forward.”- Guinta

Simple economics will tell you that if we drill here, we pay less. Despite the tragic spill in the Gulf, I still firmly believe we should harvest our domestic oil resources and stop giving money to foreign countries that certainly don't have our best interests in mind. It is as much a National Security issue as it is an Energy issue.”- Guinta

A U.S. Department of Treasury report found that a cap-and-trade law would cost American taxpayers up to $200 billion a year; the equivalent of hiking personal income taxes by about 15 percent. That being said, we can and should significantly increase our clean energy resources through the development of wind, solar, biomass, biofuels and other alternative energy sources and the expansion of Nuclear Power.”- Guinta

I believe that we must replace the current legislation with free market reforms like removing interstate boundaries to health plans, allowing business to pool their resources to get better rates, and tort reform. This type of common sense approach will make healthcare more affordable and available to the American people.”-Guinta
