                       NO-JOBS REPUBLICAN AGENDA

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask this Tea 
Party Republican majority to do something to create jobs.
  Last week, the President presented a positive plan to create jobs, 
but all the American people hear from the Tea Party Republican Party is 
the same old no-jobs agenda from this no-show Republican Congress.
  The economy is improving, but there are still 14 million Americans 
without jobs. Yet the Republican Congress hardly even shows up for 
work. Congress met only 6 days of the month of January--6 days in 1 
month.
  We need to come to work and pass President Obama's jobs plan, level 
the playing field, force the rich to pay their fair share of our 
Nation's debt, and put an end to rewarding businesses that ship jobs 
overseas.
