I think that tells you that there is a lot of concern and that there is a lot of frustration. These are people who are watching what's going on. They don't approve of it, and they want their voices heard. I think this is the key--that nobody here in D.C. is listening to these folks. They don't perceive what is happening with this administration as listening to their voices, as listening to their concerns, as listening to them when they point out that there are problems with this bill, that there are problems with this thought process, that there are problems with this ideology. They are being shut out just like we are as minority Members. As a result, they're standing up, and they're doing what they can, which is to raise their voices even louder. So it was exciting to be able to talk to that group last night by conference phone. They're energized, and they're going to be very vocal come November.

The American economy is dependent upon the success of small businesses, and right now these businesses are in deep trouble. Government red tape and overly burdensome regulations choke off economic growth and suppress job creation.
