                          AMERICA SPEAKING OUT

  (Mr. REHBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. REHBERG. Thousands of Montanans are joining millions of Americans 
speaking out. I have heard from them at seven listening sessions across 
Montana just last week. And thanks to an innovative House Republican 
initiative called America Speaking Out, they can join people around the 
country online at americaspeakingout.com.
  Unfortunately, this majority has not been listening. When emails and 
phone systems were overwhelmed by the opposition to the stimulus, they 
turned off their phones. When town hall meetings were overrun by angry 
constituents, they stopped holding public meetings. When the opposition 
to their health care takeover got too hot, they held closed-door 
meetings and capped it off with a 1 a.m. vote. Americans deserve 
better.
  We deserve a government that listens first and then acts. We deserve 
a government that remembers who it works for. That's what I'm doing in 
Montana, and that's what House Republicans are doing online. Please 
join me today by logging on at americaspeakingout.com. Together, we 
will make a difference.
