the one book that the Democrats are real scared of is the Contract With America. This book is No. 3 on the New York Times best seller list. It is so popular because it is the change the American people have been waiting for. It is the right thing to do, and it is what the Republicans are doing. Mr. Speaker, I suggest that my colleagues from the other side of the aisle read this book because we are leading the change and they had better learn how to follow. This book changes Congress and the Democrats only want to change the subject.
