                   AMERICAN HURRICANE ON THE POTOMAC

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, my district is in Hurricane Alley. 
Since I've been elected to Congress, we have had five hurricanes: 
Katrina, Rita, Humbert, Gustav, and Ike. Hurricane season is about over 
in southeast Texas, but hurricane season is coming late this year to 
Washington.
  The weather report for Washington, D.C., is just in. Gale force winds 
are expected in November. There is a hurricane coming, and it's going 
to hit D.C., and it's not going to have just one name. It's going to 
have the names of millions of Americans. The voice of citizens will be

taxacrats accountable who have stopped being responsive to the will of 
the people.

out of town, this American hurricane will drive the irresponsible 
arrogant from having the rule over the people. The American hurricane 
is on a direct path to the Potomac. And because of the abusive 
spending, borrowing, and taxing by government, the elites will have 
sown the wind, and now they're going to reap the whirlwind.
  And that's just the way it is.
