Americaspeakingout.com is up: Speak Out Now

America Speaking Out is an effort by the House Republican Conference to engage Americans across the country and give them a voice in creating a new agenda for Congress. Under Democratic control, there has been a growing disconnect between the priorities of the American public and the agenda that is debated in Washington.

Those in charge have ignored the will of the people in favor of a partisan and destructive agenda that has resulted in a nation wary of its Congress. To give power back to the American people and restore these broken bonds of trust, House Republicans are asking all Americans to be a part of building a new governing agenda.

America Speaking Out is an effort to open the back rooms and closed doors that have defined Congress and allow Americans to be a part of drafting a governing agenda from the start.
AmericaSpeakingOut.com is a state of the art website that allows individuals to suggest ideas of their own, or weigh in on ideas offered by others.

Everyone can see the ideas that are on the table, make comments on them, and register their approval or disapproval. This website brings the halls of Congress into American homes and uses the best of social media to allow America?s many voices to be heard. To change the way Washington works and the policies it pursues, it will require Washington to listen when America speaks out, and we hope all Americans will join us in this unprecedented process of engagement.
