                         TAKE CARE OF AMERICANS

  (Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, America must begin to take care of things 
here at home, to protect the people from hurricanes and floods, to 
protect the people from the oil and gas monopolies. America must begin 
to take care of things at home to protect Social Security from 
privatization, to have the wealthy pay a fair share of the taxes. 
America must begin to take care of things at home, to have an exit 
strategy from Iraq to bring our troops home. America must begin to take 
care of things at home to rebuild the gulf coast, to rebuild the 
American economy, to rebuild hope in the future, to end fear and 
uncertainty.
  Who will protect the American people if we do not? We will assure and 
must assure their education, jobs, living wages, health care, and 
retirement security. If we do not, who will?
