House Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member Doc Hastings (WA- 04) today praised the introduction of AmericaSpeakingOut.com by House Republicans, designed to directly engage the American people in an array of new policy discussions.  This includes the ability to offer opinions and ideas on important natural resource issues such as American energy production, access to public lands, wildlife management and water resources.

“This is a new opportunity for Americans across the country to speak their minds and have their voices heard on issues that matter to them the most.  Those in Western states and in rural communities are particularly struggling, and often job-creating measures such as expanding American energy production, public access to public lands, or water abundance policies are overlooked by Congress.  The age of instant communications empowers all Americans to be directly engaged with their elected representatives and share their ideas and solutions for our nation.”
