 REPUBLICAN WIN IN KENTUCKY SHOULD SEND MESSAGE TO ADMINISTRATION AND 
                                CONGRESS

  (Mr. BOEHNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker, there is something happening in America: 2 
weeks ago, in an Oklahoma district that had been held by a Democrat 
Member, came up for special election, and the Republican won in an 
overwhelmingly Democrat district. Last night, in the Second District of 
Kentucky, a 3-to-1 Democrat district, Ron Lewis was elected. Why? 
Because the American people think the Government is too big and it 
spends too much. It is because the American people do not want the 
Federal Government to get between themselves and their doctor with some 
kind of Government run health care system. The fact is, ladies and 
gentlemen, Americans want change, and they want real change, and they 
are sending that message to Congress. It is time for this Congress to 
listen.
  We want to congratulate Ron Lewis for a great win, we want to 
congratulate the Republicans who helped him, but the real winners 
yesterday in Kentucky were the American people, who had their message 
sent to this body once again.
