                      SPEAKING OUT FOR OREGONIANS

  (Ms. BYNUM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BYNUM. Mr. Speaker, it has been 6 months since I was sworn in to 
serve Oregon's Fifth Congressional District. Since then, we have seen 
the programs we rely on cut, costs rise, and the needs of the American 
people ignored.
  That is why I always encourage Oregonians to call my office and make 
their voices heard. I have heard from over 50,000 Oregonians, taken 
over 120 constituent meetings, and held 10 townhalls, including 6 as 
part of my ``Give `em Hell'' tour.
  The stories I hear help me elevate the issues in our district and 
fight back, including with these floor speeches, or as I call them, 
protest speeches. Today is my 22nd one where I have shared constituent 
stories to help defend SNAP, Social Security, Medicare, and more, and 
call out my Republican colleagues.
  I hope Oregonians will keep sharing their stories with me, and I will 
keep amplifying them. We have to keep the pressure on my Republican 
colleagues and President Trump by winning in the court of public 
opinion.
