“my mama always told me that your actions speak louder than your words. I am sure many of your mothers have told you that your actions will speak louder than your words. Let me just read you some words. This comes from Speaker Pelosi. ``Bills should generally come to the floor under a procedure that allows open, full and fair debate consisting of a full amendment process that grants the minority the right to offer as alternatives including a substitute.'' What? Whoa. ``We intend to have a Rules Committee that gives opposition voices and alternative proposals the ability to be heard and considered on the floor of the House.'' The majority leader Steny Hoyer. What? Whoa. ``I want us to work together,'' Mrs. Slaughter, Rules Committee chairwoman. What? Whoa. ``Members should have at least 24 hours to examine bill and conference report text prior to floor consideration.'' Speaker Pelosi. What? Whoa. ``Rules governing floor debate must be reported before 10 p.m. for a bill to be considered the following day.'' Whut? Whoa. Mr. Speaker, we need to let our actions match our words.”
