                   SPEAKING OUT FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE

  (Mr. SMITH of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, the American people demand real 
change in Washington. From record deficit spending to the passage of a 
health care bill most Americans don't want, there is a serious 
disconnect between the congressional agenda and the desires of the 
American people.
  America Speaking Out is a timely initiative designed to start an 
honest discussion between Americans and their representatives. Through 
this innovative new forum, the American people can give us their 
priorities and offer their ideas for a new agenda to solve the problems 
that confront our Nation.
  There is a deficit of trust in Congress, and it is only by listening 
to the American people that we can earn back their trust and turn the 
country in the right direction.
