Across this country and certainly throughout Florida, people have been asking and speaking out, but leaders in Washington have not been listening. From the new health care law to a national energy tax, Americans have repeatedly said ``no'' to what this Congress has had to offer. I have been listening, and I've heard loud and clear that my constituents, like most Americans, are tired of new taxes, new spending, and record-breaking deficits. That's why the House Republicans have launched AmericaSpeakingOut.com, a new forum where people across the country can share and discuss their ideas on a wide range of critical issues. We plan to offer a new set of policy solutions grounded in the principles of smaller, more accountable government, and we want to engage the American people directly in building those solutions together from the start. Changing course in Washington will require Americans to speak out and Congress to start listening. Please visit AmericaSpeakingOut.com and start speaking out.
