                                 YOUCUT

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, it is clear the American 
people are tired of business as usual in Washington, particularly when 
it comes to out-of-control spending. The images of the riots in Greece 
caused in part by overspending that led to an economic collapse should 
concern every single American. Between the $1 trillion government 
health care takeover, the $789 billion so-called stimulus, and the 
bankrupt cash-for-clunkers programs, America could be headed down the 
same path.
  There is clearly no better time to get serious about the spending 
spree in Washington. I applaud Republican Whip Eric Cantor for 
launching YouCut, an easy, interactive way for all Americans to vote, 
both online and via cell phone on spending cuts they want Congress to 
enact. In the first week of this program, over 280,000 people cast 
their votes to cut the new Non-Reformed Welfare Program that cost $2.5 
billion a year.
  Please visit JoeWilson.house.gov or RepublicanWhip.house.gov to see 
this week's new options and cast your votes.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11th in the global war on terrorism.
