                            IS THIS AMERICA?

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, under the threat of perjury, a Tea Party in 
Texas' 22nd Congressional District was asked these questions by the 
IRS:

       Have you attempted or will you attempt to influence the 
     outcome of specific legislation?

  That activity is protected by the Constitution. Is this America?

       Do you directly or indirectly communicate with members of 
     legislative bodies?

  That activity is protected by the Constitution. Is this America?
  This is not America. House Republicans are going to restore America 
by giving the people the truth they deserve.
