I decided to bring a picture of my mom because I sometimes think that people think that we on this side of the aisle were hatched. We have moms. We have dads. We have grandparents. We have children. And we are concerned. I just grabbed my mom's picture because I was listening to the working in my office and listening to the debate or I should say the discussion earlier this evening. I could not believe my ears. I just grabbed a picture of mom to say that this is my mom, and she desperately depends on Medicare. She is concerned about what is happening on the House floor and what is going to happen with the President. Are we going to save Medicare? I just brought down a picture of Mom so that we can take a look at her while we will have this discussion.
