Wilson Applauds GOP Interactive Initiatives

America Speaking Out and YouCut Amplify Voices of Hardworking Americans

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) today applauded the launch of AmericaSpeakingOut.com, another GOP interactive initiative designed to provide Americans with the opportunity to have their voices heard directly and share policy ideas. This online forum follows the recent success of YouCut, a first-of-its-kind project that has engaged 450,000 Americans in the spending debate in Washington.

"Using new media tools and interactive forums, Republicans are giving hardworking Americans a megaphone to amplify their concerns and policy ideas. Given current voter frustration with business-as-usual in Washington, it will be no surprise if the volume finally reaches a decibel that Washington liberals can no longer ignore.

"I thank Chief Deputy Whip Kevin McCarthy and Republican Whip Eric Cantor for launching these interactive initiatives; I encourage all Americans to speak out and speak up," said Congressman Joe Wilson.
