The video addresses a few questions and comments Wyoming constituents sent him during the past couple weeks through Facebook and Twitter, from phone calls to his D.C. and Wyoming offices, and from email and written letters.\r\nAmerican\u2019s losing healthcare because of Obamacare\r\n\u201cI did something about this clear back in 2010. I petitioned so that congress would have to vote on a bill that would have made it possible for everyone to keep their health insurance if they like it. That was voted down on party lines. It hurt America and it\u2019s going to hurt the people who voted it down.\r\n\u201cI\u2019ve been working on making sensible changes since that time. I have worked to repeal Obamacare, replace Obamacare. I have had a 10 step plan for years that does more than Obamacare does and it would be paid for. I have also worked to dismantle Obamacare. I have 17 bills that I\u2019m on that would change parts of it.\u201d\r\nSenator Enzi is working with Senator Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and 36 other senators in pushing legislation that would allow Americans to keep their health insurance if they liked it.\r\nEPA coal killing tour\r\n\u201cObama promised that he would wage war on coal when he was running the first time, and there is no indication he plans on doing anything differently.\r\n\u201cI\u2019ve been fighting every one of these regulations that come through, and in some cases getting enough signatures to get an up or down vote after 8 hours of debate. Unfortunately on the Democrat side they have what I call the full discipline, which means that nobody, even if their state would benefit from the change in the regulations, will step off and help us out. \u201cCoal of course is our nation\u2019s least expensive energy. If coal is eliminated energy prices will double or triple.\r\n\u201cI want to change it so every major rule has to have a positive vote from the Senate and the House in order to go into effect. It is the Senate and the House that say what rules need to be done, and we ought to have the approval of those rules before they ever go into effect. That\u2019s gaining momentum as well.\u201d\r\nSenator Enzi records \u201cCollecting Common Sense from Wyoming for Washington\u201d videos every other week when the Senate is in session. He encourages Wyoming residents to continue sharing their thoughts, ideas, and questions and he will address as many of the topics as possible.\u00a0 For individual responses, constituents should email him through his web page \u2013 www.enzi.senate.gov.\r\nClick here to download the video and audio.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.enzi.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/video?ContentRecord_id=d636f508-f25b-4e1b-bf3b-7226bad27a44"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8720722980797291, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
