                   AMERICAN HURRICANE ON THE POTOMAC

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, my district is in Hurricane Alley. 
Since I've been elected to Congress, we have had five hurricanes: 
Katrina, Rita, Humbert, Gustav, and Ike. Hurricane season is about over 
in southeast Texas, but hurricane season is coming late this year to 
Washington.
  The weather report for Washington, D.C., is just in. Gale force winds 
are expected in November. There is a hurricane coming, and it's going 
to hit D.C., and it's not going to have just one name. It's going to 
have the names of millions of Americans. The voice of citizens will be 
here and clear the air. We the people proclaim, hold elites and 
taxacrats accountable who have stopped being responsive to the will of 
the people.
  And just as hurricane force winds hit Washington in 1814 to drive the 
British out of town, this American hurricane will drive the 
irresponsible arrogant from having the rule over the people. The 
American hurricane is on a direct path to the Potomac. And because of 
the abusive spending, borrowing, and taxing by government, the elites 
will have sown the wind, and now they're going to reap the whirlwind.
  And that's just the way it is.
