Press Releases

Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) tonight released the following statement after President Joe Biden delivered his first address to a joint session of Congress:

“Our nation is in desperate need of unity, which is something both Republicans and Democrats can agree upon. That’s why I’m incredibly disappointed that the Biden Administration’s actions – and inaction -- have been the polar opposite. President Biden’s first 100 days have been marked by divisive policies and broken promises.

“Unfortunately, tonight’s address only further highlights how far President Biden has caved to the radical left. To the contrary of what President Biden said, many of his socialist policy proposals will actually hurt working families and have already destroyed American jobs. Further, his agenda is designed to grant the federal government more power while appeasing our adversaries abroad. It’s clear that our nation has weak leadership in the White House.

“However, I believe the American People still have reason to be hopeful. That is if – and only if – our nation’s leaders return to our founding values. We’ve seen that we can unleash unprecedented growth and give every American the opportunity to succeed when we bolster the principles of small government and individual liberty. Under the right leadership, I have no doubt we can do it again.”
