                          A TIME FOR CHOOSING

  (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, as we enter the final 
stages of this election cycle, the American people have a choice for 
change--promoting limited government with expanded freedom or big 
government with power to politicians. A key issue is job creation.
  I support the bipartisan initiatives of John F. Kennedy's and Ronald 
Reagan's of cutting taxes, which enable the private sector to create 
jobs. President Obama has enacted failed policies of borrow, tax, and 
spend, producing 43 months of unemployment of over 8 percent.
  New jobs could be created with an all-of-the-above energy policy, but 
President Obama promised skyrocketing energy costs--doubling gas 
prices. A better course would be to develop the Keystone pipeline with 
our number one ally, Canada. The contrast on national defense is 
clear--that we should stand for peace through strength: Ronald Reagan. 
President Obama's policies to hollow out our military reveal weakness.
  My constituents are heartbroken at the Internet tragedy of our 
Ambassador to Libya being murdered and his body desecrated by 
terrorists.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
