                       REPUBLICAN ABUSE OF POWER

  (Mr. HILLIARD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HILLIARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to point out another outrage 
among the many insults that the Republicans continue to inflict upon 
this Congress and this country. Since they gained a majority in 
Congress, the onslaught of injustice has been tremendous.
  They have stacked the top committees with the Johnny-come-lately 
party switchers. They have disenfranchised several Democrats, blocking 
us from voting, both in committee meetings and on this very House 
floor.
  Legislatively, their crimes against the public have been horrendous. 
They do not even blush as they cut Medicare, Medicaid, student loans 
and other educational programs to fund tax cuts for their rich 
supporters.
  The Republicans are drunk with their new found power, and their abuse 
of this power is rampant and excessive. But America is watching.
