                        STAND UP AND BE COUNTED

  (Mr. SCARBOROUGH asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Speaker, with children dying in our Nation's 
streets, liberal Democratic leaders lament a book deal that even the 
Washington Post admits is proper, and while working men and women 
across the land struggle to survive until their next paycheck, liberal 
Democratic leaders ignore their plight and, instead, chatter 
incessantly over contrived, imaginary scandals.
  And while conservatives on both sides of the aisle boldly forge ahead 
into a new frontier of federalism, liberal Democratic leaders continue 
to engage in a desperate, ham-fisted attempt to create a crisis, change 
the subject, and obstruct the latest great piece of congressional 
reform.
  Mr. Speaker, it is time for all Members of Congress to step forward 
regardless of what aisle they stand on, stand up, be counted, and 
debate the issues that will actually affect the lives of those men and 
women that sent us to Congress to make a difference.
