                           DEMOCRATIC WHINING

  (Mr. KINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, every day the Democrat Party stands up and 
they weep and they whine and they mourn about the Contract With 
America. In fact, there has been so much crying on the left side of the 
aisle that the EPA has had to declare it a wetlands.
  Because while the Republican Party is busy contracting with America, 
the Democrat Party is busy contracting from America.
  The Democrats are outraged because issues that they have ignored and 
oppressed for 40 years can be brought up before the American people for 
a vote in 100 days. It has left them without an agenda. To them welfare 
works. Bureaucrats and regulations are good. Deficit spending is OK 
because amending the Constitution to keep America alive is somehow 
worse than balancing the budget.
  Mr. Speaker, this revolution is not about Newt Gingrich. It is not 
about the Contract With America. It is not about the Republicans taking 
over Congress. It is about change and challenging the status quo. It 
has a momentum of its own. It is about less government, lower taxes, 
fewer regulations, and more personal freedom. I hope that they will 
join us.
