Contact: (202) 225-2071 New GOP effort gives North Carolinians a voice in national agenda Congresswoman Virginia Foxx today issued the following statement upon the introduction of America Speaking Out, an effort to engage North Carolinians and people all across the nation in the process of building an agenda for America. Through America Speaking Out, North Carolinians will be given a voice in setting the priorities for a national agenda. At town hall meetings, online at AmericaSpeakingOut.com, and through new communications tools, all Americans will have an opportunity to be a part of this effort.
“Washington’s business as usual isn’t going to cut it anymore. North Carolinians have been speaking out, voicing their concerns with a massive healthcare bill, record-breaking levels of debt, and our nation’s jobs crisis. They’re tired of Washington’s tin ear and ready for a new "House Republicans are going to offer new solutions, but rather than handing an agenda down from Washington, we want to include the American people in building it. “We have offered our own ideas when we disagreed with the Democratic majority, and we are committed to our principles of smaller, more accountable government. However, we will also listen to the American people since any new agenda should start with them. The voices of the America people can still make a difference in Washington. That’s why we created America Speaking Out, to give citizens an opportunity to lend their ideas to the creation of a new national policy agenda. "All North Carolinians, regardless of party affiliation, can be a part of this unprecedented dialogue of ideas. This project will feature innovative web tools at AmericaSpeakingOut.com plus mobile applications that will bring town hall meetings directly to anywhere Americans are discussing our nation’s challenges. Changing the course of our nation and the way Washington works will require the American people to continue to speak out and for Congress to start listening. Through America Speaking Out, the people will have a voice in Washington, as well as a group ready to act on their behalf." |
