I rise today to talk about energy, the fact that this is the people's House and the people are speaking. They are speaking loud and clear. Unfortunately, I do not think that the Democratic leadership is listening to the people. Survey after survey says we are tired of sending money to Hugo Chavez. Let's spend that money in the good old USA. Madam Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, when this new leadership took charge, said we are going to bring real change for America. Well, the real change that this leadership has brought for America is we have the highest gasoline-diesel prices in the history of this country. Madam Speaker, real change would be for the Democratic leadership for a change to begin to bring bills to the floor of this House that will bring long-term energy security and lower gasoline prices for the American people. Madam Speaker, it is time for a change. It is time for you to change your position and bring energy legislation to the floor so that American people do not have to suffer and we do not have to send Hugo Chavez any more of our hard-earned money.
