"Recently, I discussed the many challenges that our farmers and ranchers face today. 

"They range from the threat of cap and tax and the EPA to the burden of more regulation and bureaucracy. 

"The reason for these challenges is simple.  There is an incredible disconnect between the priorities of the American people and the agenda of the Obama administration and the Democratic leadership in Congress. 

"Those in charge continue to ignore the concerns of the American people.   

"That’s why my Republican colleagues in the House are engaging Americans all across the country and giving them a voice in creating the agenda for Congress. 

"The effort is called America Speaking Out.  And, it puts the American people in charge.  You have the opportunity to weigh in on what our priorities should be in Washington and what policies we should be pursuing. 

"I urge you to go the website (AmericaSpeakingOut.com) and join the discussion on how we can solve some of our nation’s most pressing problems."
