                            AMERICA'S FUTURE

  (Mr. COLLINS of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, my friends on the other side of 
the aisle like to refer to the House majority as the Party of No. And 
do you know what? I'm okay with that. We've said no to unending and 
out-of-control spending and passed a budget that balances in 10 years. 
We've said no to the largest tax increase in history and repealed 
ObamaCare. We said no to fraud and political games and demanded answers 
from the Internal Revenue Service.
  We've said no to the fact that four Americans in Benghazi are dead 
and we will not rest until we have answers. We've said no to the tax 
more, spend more, save less, Big Government, job killing machine that 
is crushing the American spirit and our economic growth.
  We've replaced government growth and regulations with reform. We have 
restored transparency and trust. We're giving our Nation a reason to 
believe that one day our children won't be looking for a job, they will 
be creating jobs.
  America was founded by patriots who said no to the tyrannical 
government that was crushing their freedom and economic future. And 
America's future rests in the hands of those who will carry on the 
torch of freedom to protect the future of their children and 
grandchildren. America's future rests in the hands of those who are 
sometimes willing to say no.
