"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

America to Speaking Out Website by House Republicans

Yesterday the House Republicans launched their new website America Speaking Out which gives the American people a chance to submit their positive solutions that Republicans will make part of their agenda for the next Congress in January 2011.

Cong Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Deputy Whip is in charge of the project:



This is a great idea but wouldn't want to be the person who has to put up with all the spam that is going to come from the likes of SEIU, Daily KOS, and DU who are paid to visit website to cause problems. Might be fun to spend a day tossing them off though.

Today Cong Mike Pence, Chair of the House Republican Conference, made his remarks on the floor of the House announcing this website:



Transcript of Cong Pence's Remarks:

Washington, DC - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, Chairman of the House Republican Conference, gave the following statement today on the House floor addressing House Republicans' new governing agenda, America Speaking Out:

"Well, after years of being shut out of the debates here on Capitol Hill, seeing runaway federal spending, bailouts and takeovers built behind closed doors, the American people finally have a way in. An unambiguous seat at the table. It's called Americaspeakingout.com.

"Since the outset of this Congress, Republicans have been offering positive solutions to the challenges facing this country in building a governing agenda for this Congress. Republicans have been listening to the American people and Americaspeakingout.com is a continuation of that process.

"Now let me say, this is not a listening tour. House Republicans are not a party in search of our principles. We know what we believe. We're committed to the principles of economic growth, fiscal discipline, a strong defense and traditional American values. But we simply believe that the best ideas in America come from the American people. That's why we launched Americaspeakingout.com.

"So I urge all Hoosiers and frankly all my countrymen, whatever your politics, whatever your philosophy, join us at Americaspeakingout.com. House Republicans are listening."
