                        HOLD ON TO YOUR WALLETS

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. America, hold on to your wallets. Nancy 
Pelosi and the Democrats are coming after you with higher taxes--in the 
middle of a recession.
  Come January, tax rates are going to skyrocket on hardworking, middle 
class families and small businesses. A new poll says 55 percent of 
voters in battleground States would be less likely to vote for Democrat 
congressional candidates if Congress doesn't stop or delay next year's 
scheduled tax increases before election day.
  Most small business owners file personal income taxes and will feel 
the tax hike, which will make it more difficult for them when they try 
to hire more people or give their employees a raise. This is about 
stopping a job-killing tax hike on small businesses during tough 
economic times.
  Let's stop it for our future and our freedom.
