       TOWN HALL MEETINGS ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA'S SECOND DISTRICT

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, over the last week, I have 
held six town hall meetings all across South Carolina's Second 
Congressional District focused on job creation and Washington's 
reckless spending habits. Residents in Aiken, Barnwell, Richland, 
Lexington, Orangeburg, Varnville, and Bluffton came out to express 
their concerns and hear the opinions of their neighbors.
  Mr. Speaker, the message I bring back from South Carolina's Second 
District residents is simple: stop this out-of-control spending and 
pass job creation policies that incentivize small businesses to create 
jobs and families to invest.
  People are concerned. They are concerned about their family's 
economic future. They are concerned about the enormous debt being 
imposed on our children and grandchildren.
  I encourage residents who couldn't attend to take advantage of two 
new interactive forums designed to give Americans a voice in Congress 
to share policy solutions: AmericaSpeakingOut.com and YouCut.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11th in the global war on terrorism.
