"America Speaking Out" is an effort by House Republicans 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.  To return power to the American people and begin to restore the broken bonds of trust between Americans and their elected leaders, House Republicans are asking all Americans to be part of an unprecedented new initiative that will, in time, lead to a new policy agenda.
