                       THERE WILL BE NO SURRENDER

  (Mr. WEBER of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, in 1836, a dictator showed up at the 
Alamo in Texas and demanded a complete, full surrender without 
negotiation. William Travis responded with a cannon shot: There will be 
no surrender.
  Now comes the President and the Senate Majority Leader demanding that 
this House of Representatives surrender. We will not surrender. We are 
fighting for the American people. Tea partiers knew in the Colonies 
that King George's dictatorial methods wouldn't be tolerated. We won't 
tolerate them here.
  Like it or not, Mr. President and the Senate Majority Leader, this 
House is a part of this process. We understand that we are fighting for 
the American people. We will not surrender. We are going to fight to 
make sure that we keep our liberty. Americans expect nothing less and 
deserve nothing less.
  I am Randy Weber and damn proud to be an American.
