  (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. Mr. Speaker, this week the President 
adopted a new campaign slogan, ``We Can't Wait,'' in efforts to get his 
$447 billion jobs bill passed by Congress even after the Senate has 
rejected it already, two or three times.
  The President continues to promote his more-of-the-same failed 
policies like higher taxes and increased spending, and we can't wait 
for the President to get behind policies that will help the American 
people.
  Families and small business across the country continue to struggle 
in this economy, and that's why Republicans have passed bill after bill 
to get our economy moving in the right direction.
  Today, the House will vote on repealing the IRS' 3 percent 
withholding rule in order to reduce uncertainty for our businesses and 
allow job creators to do what they do best, create jobs.
  I urge the President and my colleagues in the Senate to follow our 
lead, get our economy moving forward. Americans want, need, and deserve 
no less.
