America Speaking Out is an open forum, however, where all Americans are welcome to respectfully offer their opinions, regardless of party affiliation and whether House Republicans endorse them or not. The goal of America Speaking Out aims for active engagement of the American people to produce a robust debate that will aid in the construction of a new American agenda.

America Speaking Out is paid for with official funds of the Office of the House Minority Leader – no political or campaign funds have been used for any portion of the project.  This effort by the office of the Republican House Minority Leader is linked for informational purposes.
