Webster Statement on the Projecting Jobs from Government Interference Act

Statement

I strongly believe in the right of American business owners to make decisions regarding where and when to conduct business, and the right of states to determine the best labor policies for their citizens. I oppose excessive governmental regulation and interference by federal executive agencies that do not have the authority to supplant the best operational judgment of businesses in their employment, production, location, and other investment decisions.

"Recently, the National Labor Relations Board has taken unprecedented, protectionist actions on behalf of labor unions that fly in the face of federalism, and this cannot be allowed to continue. I am honored to represent the constituents of the 8th Congressional District of Florida, which is a right-to-work state, and I will continue to oppose efforts to impede American private enterprise, capitalism, and economic freedom," said Congressman Webster.

Congressman Webster supports the Protecting Jobs from Government Interference Act, and voted in favor of H. Res. 372, the rule for H.R. 2587, in the Rules Committee hearing held on July 26, 2011.

Webster has asked the record to reflect a "yea" vote in favor of H.R. 2587, had he been present, rather than in Florida for the memorial service for a longtime friend and colleague.
