                           PLEDGE TO AMERICA

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, as I sit here and listen to my colleagues 
across the aisle, I want to remind them that the American people showed 
on November 2 that they're not buying the class warfare that our 
friends are still trying to sell. We're a month away from tax increases 
that will hit every American taxpayer. The Obama-Pelosi-Reid spending 
spree that has racked up $6.1 trillion in Federal spending in just 22 
months is about to hand the American people a massive tax increase.
  Democrats have majorities in both houses of Congress until January, 
and there's time for them to do something to stop the $3.9 trillion tax 
increase. But so far all we're seeing on the agenda is more spending.
  Republicans are ready to work in a bipartisan way to stop these tax 
increases and to cut spending. But if the President and congressional 
Democrats don't take action before the end of the year to stop all the 
tax hikes and cut spending, the new House majority will in January. 
That's our Pledge to America, and we intend to keep it.
