                     IRS: DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO

  (Mr. BENTIVOLIO asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BENTIVOLIO. Madam Speaker, it has become apparent that the 
Federal agencies operate by one standing principle: do as I say, not as 
I do.
  The IRS has shown a blatant disregard for the truth, and it is 
apparent there is something to hide.
  Madam Speaker, I look to the other side, and I have to ask: Where is 
your outrage? Why have none of my Democratic friends been willing to 
look at the Internal Revenue Service's actions and say: Do you know 
what? This is bigger than partisan politics. Something is wrong here, 
and we need to protect the rights of Americans. Are you so committed to 
government power that you are unwilling to stand up and do the right 
thing?
  Our job is to protect the rights of the people, not take them away. 
It is time we remember that in this Chamber.
