it's another washington takeover. it has a czar here in washington. but it's an ant-jobs bill just like the health care bill tax jobs creators and investors. so if you were focusing on jobs, you wouldn't pass this so-called financial regulation bill. >> so you say step by step. but some supporters may say it's a republican attempt to slow things down. >> we would like to slow down that bill. but as we try to say to the president this week, we are here to help legislate. we have ideas. we represent people who put us here that have something to say, for example, about banks too big to fail or whether or not community banks or credit unions ought to be taken over. but we were basically frozen out of the process in the financial regulation bill. because the democrats basically said they have all year. we won the election, we'll write the bill. we don't need the republicans. so until we get a few more republican senators to put a little more check and balance in what we regard as an overreaching washington administration, we may win some arguments but not

but their message was the same -- washington needs to listen. over the last 18 months, democrats running washington have failed to listen to the american people. instead, they have pursued a partisan agenda that does not reflect the priorities of the american people, who are fed up with the spending, the taxes, the bailouts, and the debt being piled on to our kids and grandkids. it is time for the american people to once again have a role in driving america's agenda. that is why we have launched america speaking out -- a new project to engage the american people and seek out their ideas for solving our nation's challenges. we recognize that americans do not want an agenda imposed on them from washington. they want to help set the agenda. instead of debates behind closed doors, which has happened far too often in the last 18 months, we are throwing open the doors and letting a little sunshine in. america speaking out will give americans back the voice in washington -- and house republicans are ready to listen. as republicans, we know our principl
