Well, thank you. With Mr. Ryan's absence here tonight, I keep saying that because I want him to read the Congressional Record and let him know that I did note that he was not here. Housedemocrats.gov/30something. Members can go on there…

I know, Mr. Delahunt and Ms. Wasserman Schultz, that the American people see this and say wait a minute, they must have a typo on this. It is like $3.06 last I saw. But this is on average. I just want to make sure because, Madam Speaker, I…

The real issue here is the fact that, Madam Speaker, I am done with trying to beg the majority to lead. I am just done. I mean, there is nothing more that we can say. They have had their opportunity. They have their opportunity now. They…

He would say something like ``high prices, backroom deals.'' He would open the envelope and later we would see oh, wow, and they made record profits while this was going on. {time} 2350 I am going to go ahead and crystal-ball this thing…

We talked about the K Street Project and special influence here in this House of Representatives. We talked about how certain lobbyists could not go into certain offices of Members of the majority. This came out of the mouths of Members if…

I would appreciate, Mr. Ryan, while you are at it, if you give the website out to the Members.

Thank you, Mr. Ryan, and thank you Ms. Wasserman Schultz. And Mr. Speaker, basically what we are talking about is change. We are giving the American people an alternative to where we are headed now, which is down a dark tunnel, and it very…

This was letter one, December 29th of 2005, the Secretary came into the office days before the New Year and said please raise the debt limit because we are about to run out of money. February 16, he got a little nervous and said, Listen…

Ms. Wasserman Schultz, it was not ``finally''; it was because the American people were saying, what's wrong with you guys? What is going on? I did not elect you all to go up there and represent the super-wealthy, and I didn't elect you all…

Well, what I am going is do is just pepper in, Mr. Speaker, the difference from what the Republican majority is proposing and ran out of town without voting on because it is a budget of shame versus what we have put forth as our budgets…

And if we could, Ms. Wasserman Schultz, I am going to go through this, because it was really to drive home a point that Mr. Ryan was making. And then Mr. Ryan was going to share that chart there, because I think these visual aids are…

I thank Mr. Ryan. This is something to be very concerned about. We started at the top of the hour, and I am glad the Ms. Wasserman Schultz has also joined us. The bottom line is that Mr. Rothman is 110 percent right. What they say on the…

I would like to have Mr. Ryan please tell us the phone call that you got, what happened in your district today to the workers?

If I can, as it relates to time, Mr. Ryan, if you could give our website. We have to close out.

I am just going to close out on this and then I am going to back up, because I know that Congressman Delahunt, sir, you were very reserved last night. We were limited to 50 minutes. I just want you to be able to share, because I know you…

we would like to thank the leadership for the opportunity to speak tonight. ____________________

Really quick, because we are going to rapid fire here because we only have a few minutes left. I just want to quickly again, you have seen this, this will be in the National Archives one day because we talk about this time and time again…

Mr. Delahunt, I notice Mr. Ryan and Ms. Wasserman Schultz and we are so glad to be joined by Ms. Jackson-Lee, who is one of my sheroes in this process. ``They.'' {time} 2040 Mr. Speaker, this is the man who gave the Republican majority…

This is the reality of the situation. This is not fiction; it is fact. But if you can, I want you to get through that list because I know that Mr. Delahunt and Mr. Ryan are so fired up right now as it relates to sharing this information…

with that, we would not only like to say thanks to Mr. Delahunt but Ms. Jackson-Lee who joined us tonight from the great State of Texas, also Mr. Ryan and Ms. Wasserman Schultz for being here tonight. We would also in the 30 Something…

Will the gentleman suspend. Mr. Ryan, would you take that chart over to Mr. Delahunt. You all are going to share in this information sharing because Mr. Delahunt actually served when Mr. Gingrich was around and I think it is important that…

So, in closing, you want to know the Democratic plan? The Democratic plan is paying as we go. Paying as we go. Because when you are in debt, you do not continue to use a credit card. So if Americans want to do away with the $882.8 billion…

The bottom line is this: We have a bobble head majority. We have a rubber stamp majority that is willing to do anything and everything the President has asked. Now, Mr. Delahunt, we talked about this last week, Ms. Wasserman Schultz, Mr…

Ms. Wasserman Schultz, we are with you 110 percent because this is information that needs to be shared and third- party validators can validate this.

it is an honor once again to address the House of Representatives, and we would like to thank the Democratic leadership for allowing us to have this time, Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Mr. Steny Hoyer, and also our chair and vice chair…
