                        TIME FOR A NEW DIRECTION

  (Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KUCINICH. A war based on lies. An administration lost in 
ideological fantasies, stubbornly ignoring the best advice of military 
commanders. Getting ready for the next war. A President who refuses to 
see a situation collapsing around 130,000 young men and women he sent 
into battle. A global war on terror has become a war of errors, 
undermining our security around the world and here at home. A national 
security state has emerged, and America is immersed in lying, spying, 
and dying.
  It is time for a new direction. It is time for a new direction in 
international relations, achieving security through cooperation. It is 
time for a new direction here at home in health care, Medicare for all. 
It is time for a new direction in job creation and infrastructure bill. 
It is time for a new direction.
  We are homeward bound, America. We are coming home. We are coming 
back to take care of things that matter to people here at home, jobs 
and health care and education. Time for a new direction.
