                   SIGN THE A TO Z DISCHARGE PETITION

  (Mr. HUTCHINSON asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HUTCHINSON. Madam Speaker, it should come as no surprise to 
anyone in this institution that the American people are discouraged and 
frustrated with Congress. Call it gridlock, call it political 
partisanship, call it what you will. The fact remains that Congress is 
not doing what the American people has asked us to do, which is cut 
spending and live within our means.
  The leadership in Congress and the administration passed a so-called 
deficit reduction bill last year that will leave us $1 trillion deeper 
in debt 5 years from now than we are today. It is more of the same. It 
is business as usual. Tax and spend again and again, and let our 
children and grandchildren pay the tab.
  There is an alternative. We can show the American people that we care 
about their future by signing the A to Z discharge petition.
  Let us put partisanship aside. No one disagrees with the need to cut 
spending and live within our means. The American people deserve fiscal 
responsibility from their elected representatives. We were sent here to 
make a difference, not to perpetuate the status quo. Support A to Z.
