Mr. Speaker, on October 2, the President promised, ``I'm not on the ballot this fall, but my policies are on the ballot.'' Clearly, America, which is not stupid, voted last Tuesday to stop his policies, which destroy jobs at home and weaken national defense abroad. On Sunday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution lead editorial explained, ``The electorate took a peach tree switch to the donkey's hindquarters,'' resulting in Georgia and South Carolina achieving returning Republican victories for all statewide and Federal offices for the first time in 136 years. Failed policies should stop and together we should work for positive change, such as opening Yucca Mountain to reduce the environmental risk of nuclear waste. The Boston Globe editorialized, ``Resume funding the Yucca Mountain project,'' and ``Democrats should recognize that.'' Additionally, the Keystone pipeline should be completed to promote energy independence with hundreds of permanent jobs in my home communities with Michelin of Lexington and MTU of Graniteville. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and the President should take action to never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
