Well, it -- it works because people who are gay and lesbian can serve, but they are not to tell. That's -- that's what 'don't ask, don't tell' means. And you don't ask, you don't tell. And, so, I believe the system is working.

Mr. Speaker, today, the voice of the American people will be heard. The current administration's unconstitutional health care takeover is not the will of the people. Tea party participants have made a difference. The current law would cost…

Mr. Speaker, may I inquire as to how many more speakers there are on the other side?
