From time to time I reflect upon our constitution and how the Founding Fathers believed the safeguards written into it would protect our rights as Americans. Among others, we are guaranteed the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and the freedom to bear arms. As your representative in Washington, I take a great deal of pride in protecting your rights and freedoms.

A Note from Congressman Carson

Dear Friend,

One of my favorite holidays, Thanksgiving, is right around the corner. Over the coming week, we will take a few precious days to come together, count our blessings, and share a meal with our loved ones. This time-honored American tradition allows us to reflect on all that we are thankful for—our family and friends, our health and our great nation.

Dear Friend:

As your representative in Congress, I spend several days each week in Washington, D.C. fighting for you. So I fully understand that the news out of our nation's capital can sometimes be frustrating and difficult to follow. This is unfortunate because it keeps Hoosiers from getting a clear picture of my work on your behalf.
