Congressman Mike Conaway - 11th District of Texas

A New Agenda For Congress From America

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. Through our Solutions Groups, Congressional Republicans have offered positive alternatives to the misguided policies pursued by Washington Democrats. But we recognize the American people are in charge, and constructing a governing agenda must begin with the people.

In addition to AmericaSpeakingOut.com, House Republicans will be hosting town hall meetings and telephone town halls specifically designed to gather input on what a new governing agenda should contain. If a citizen has thoughts on what America’s priorities should be, or perhaps an idea on how to solve some of America’s most pressing problems, or simply wants to hear what other are saying, he or she can participate in this process directly.
