On the recordOctober 26, 2011
Thank you very much. I'm very appreciative, Congressman, for your taking this time out on the floor this evening and sharing this time with your colleagues to talk about the American Jobs Act. What I'm going to say will take a little bit of a different tack. As you know, we just had a contest about the use of social media in our caucus, and I devised a program where I promoted a campaign on #ourspeech, which asked our followers, if they had the opportunity to speak to Congress, what would they say, using the 140 or so characters on Twitter. We got a lot of comments in. We combined them, and now I'm going to share them. A lot of it is about jobs, but they speak about it in a little bit different way. If you would indulge me, I would like to take a few minutes.
