              A NEW PRESIDENTIAL TICKET FOR A NEW AMERICA

  (Ms. KILPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. KILPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, 3\1/2\ years ago when the Bush 
administration took over, our country had a $236 billion surplus. We 
also had created in the Clinton administration 22 million new jobs. 
Today we are in deficit. The deficit will be higher than it ever has 
been in the history of our country, nearly $500 billion. Today we are 
losing jobs to outsourcing. And what do the President's advisers say? 
Outsourcing is good.
  President Bush was in Michigan yesterday. Did he talk about our 
economy, how we are going to save our jobs, how we are going to keep 
higher tuition from going up? A 26 percent increase in tuition. How are 
America's children going to learn and have the opportunities they must 
have?
  Something is wrong with this ticket. We have a new ticket: Kerry-
Edwards, a new America for new people, so children can prosper, so that 
our schools can be well, so that our health system can be back to what 
it ought to be.
  I say to America, come on, get out. It is their turn, express their 
views. A new America for a new American family.
