[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 8] [House] [Pages 10470-10471] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]SPEAKING OUT FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE (Mr. SMITH of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House [[Page 10471]] for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, the American people demand real change in Washington. From record deficit spending to the passage of a health care bill most Americans don't want, there is a serious disconnect between the congressional agenda and the desires of the American people. America Speaking Out is a timely initiative designed to start an honest discussion between Americans and their representatives. Through this innovative new forum, the American people can give us their priorities and offer their ideas for a new agenda to solve the problems that confront our Nation. There is a deficit of trust in Congress, and it is only by listening to the American people that we can earn back their trust and turn the country in the right direction. Check out the Web site, America Speaking Out. ____________________
