The full text of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation statement:
I've always represented the common American man and woman as a member of the House of Representatives which is why I've always been despised in Washington DC and never fit in.
Americans are used by the Political Industrial Complex of both Political Parties, election cycle after election cycle, in order to elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other side more.
No matter which way the political pendulum swings, Republican or Democrat, nothing ever gets better for the common American man or woman.
The debt goes higher.
Corporate and global interests remain Washington's sweethearts.
Americans' hard earned tax dollars always fund foreign wars, foreign aid, and foreign interests. The spending power of the dollar continues to decline.
The average American family can no longer survive on a single bread winner's income as both parents must work in order to simply survive.
And today, many in my children's generation feel hopeless for their future and don't think they will ever realize the American dream, which breaks my heart.
I ran for Congress in 2020 and have fought every single day believing that Make America Great Again meant America First. I have one of the most conservative voting records in Congress defending the 1st amendment, 2nd amendment, unborn babies because I believe God creates life at conception, strong safe borders, I've fought against Covid tyrannical insanity and mandated mass vaccinations, and I've never voted to fund foreign wars.
However with almost one year into our majority, the legislature has been mostly sidelined, we endured an 8 week shut down wrongly resulting in the House not working for the entire time, and we are entering campaign season which means all courage leaves and only safe campaign re-election mode is turned on.
During the longest shutdown in our nation's history, I raged against my own Speaker and my own party for refusing to proactively work diligently to pass a plan to save American healthcare and protect Americans from outrageous overpriced and unaffordable health insurance policies. The House should have been in session working everyday to fix this disaster, but instead America was forced fed disgusting political drama once again from both sides of the aisle.
My bills which reflect many of President Trump's Executive Orders like calling for a new census counting Americans only to draw new districts, making English the official language of the U.S., making it a felony to medically trans a minor, and other bills like eliminating capital gains taxes on the sale of your home and eliminating H1-B visas just sit collecting dust. That's how it is for most members of Congress's bills, the Speaker never brings them to the floor for a vote.
Because they know how much credit card debt they have, they know how much their own bills have gone up over the past 5 years, they actually do their own grocery shopping and know food cost too much, their rent has increasingly gone up, they have been outbid by corporate asset managers too many times when they put in an offer to buy a house, they have been laid off after being forced to train their visa holding replacement, the college degree they were told to earn only left them in debt with no big six figure salary, they see more homeless people than ever on their own community streets, they can't afford health insurance or practically any insurance, and they just aren't stupid.
These are the people I represent and love because that is who all of my family and friends are, common Americans.
I have been blessed to represent the 14th district of Georgia for 5 years, which is filled with some of the most wonderful kind hearted God fearing patriotic hard working people you will ever meet. Good regular common Americans.
I've worked hard to bring tax payer dollars back home to help district needs, I impeached Biden's Secretary of Homeland after watching my constituents die as he facilitated the dangerous open border invasion into America, and led the effort to defund hard left politically biased NPR, PBS, and the corrupt USAID as the Chair of the DOGE Subcommittee.
I have fought harder than almost any other elected Republican to elect Donald Trump and Republicans to power, traveling the country for years, spending millions of my own money, missing precious time with my family that I can never get back, and showing up in places like outside the New York Courthouse in Collect Pond Park against a raging leftist mob as Trump faced Democrat lawfare. Meanwhile most of the Establishment Republicans, who secretly hate him and who stabbed him in the back and never defended him against anything, have all been welcomed in after the election.
And I will never forget the day I had to leave my mother's side as my father had brain surgery to remove cancerous tumors in order to fly to Washington D.C. to defend President Trump and vote NO against the Democrat's second impeachment in 2021. My poor father and my poor mother, it was way too much.
Loyalty should be a two way street and we should be able to vote our conscience and represent our district's interest because our job title is literally, "Representative."
America First should mean America First and only Americans First, with no other foreign country ever being attached to America First in our halls of government.
