Senator Warner released the following statement today, after President Obama's speech announcing his strategy in Afghanistan.

Senator Warner called "Richmond's Morning News with Jimmy Barrett" on WRVA Radio in Richmond today to discuss the Senate health care reform legislation, and Jimmy ended up hosting a wide-ranging conversation that also touched on Senator Warner's work to reign-in the federal budget deficit -- and even the Senator's connection with the White House party crashers.

Senator Warner writes an op-ed in the Harrisonburg Daily News Record about his new job as the head of the bipartisan Task Force on Government Performance, which will establish performance and accountability metrics across the government to save money and promote efficiencies.

Senator Warner joined four of his colleagues today in a series of Senate floor speeches on how health reform will help small businesses.

During a small business conference hosted by the Treasury Department and the U.S. Small Business Administration today, Senator Warner urged the administration, Congress, and banks to work quickly to boost lending to small businesses still facing very challenging credit conditions.
