It's also important to recognize, again, as an appropriator and as a member of the Budget Committee, I hear and see each and every day, whenever we're in committee, the tactics and the discussion with regard to cuts to Head Start and the women and children nutrition assistance program--all of those programs that just very recently the Republican Tea Party Members have started to say that they support.

Let's have an up-or-down vote to open up this government and let the chips fall where they may.
