          REPUBLICANS FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE PLEDGE TO AMERICA

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOE WILSON

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 18, 2011

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend 
the Republican House Leadership for following through on the Pledge to 
America. While the Democratic legislators in Wisconsin are fleeing from 
their responsibility, Republicans in Washington are working virtually 
around the clock into the weekend to create jobs by reducing excessive 
spending.
  In these first few weeks of the 112th Congress, Leadership has 
navigated the House through a flurry of activity. House Republicans 
have made good on several campaign promises such as: reducing 
government spending by cutting Congressional office budgets, stopping 
unnecessary printing, and repealing Obamacare which the NFIB reports 
will kill 1.6 million jobs. As Molly K. Hooper wrote in The Hill on 
Friday, ``Democrats like the openness in the GOP House.'' Leadership 
has done an extraordinary job in accomplishing much in such a short 
amount of time to live up to promises and reduce government borrowing 
to promote private sector job creation.
  In conclusion, God Bless our Troops and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the Global War on Terrorism.
