“Americans are fed up with the job-killing, big-spending agenda in Washington that is delaying our return to prosperity,” says Congressman Don Manzullo, R-16th District.
Manzullo explains, “At the 10 citizens meetings I held this summer, the people spoke loudly of their desire for a new way forward. One young man summed up the frustration of most when he said ‘I just want the government to leave us alone.
"These ideas were among the 16,000 submitted nationwide that were used to develop our Pledge to America, a set of bold and immediate solutions that renews a commitment to our founding principles and offers a new way of doing business in Washington," says Manzullo.
A Pledge to America, a new governing agenda authored by House Republicans, was compiled following thousands of America Speaking Out town hall meetings this summer designed to seek the ideas of the people for returning our nation to prosperity. Manzullo alone held 10 citizen meetings across northern Illinois. Nationwide, citizens offered more than 16,000 ideas at the meetings and online that were used to develop the new agenda for America.

"Because the American people cannot endure any more of Washington’s misguided agenda, we pledge to begin fighting for these solutions today. Having enlisted the voices of the American people, we are now well prepared to move America forward and restore our founding principle of accountability to the people.
