Commemorating Memorial Day
May 25 2012
By Senator Marco Rubio
This Memorial Day, I join my fellow Floridians in celebrating the bravery and heroism of our servicemen and women, both past and present, who honorably answer the call in defense of liberty.

May 16 2012
By Senator Marco Rubio
On Tuesday, I voted against funding the Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank. Taxpayer money should not be used as corporate welfare. Instead, we should focus on negotiating free trade agreements with other countries to benefit all U.S. industries and businesses.Happy Mother's Day
