I want to take up another subject that you broached earlier in the conversation, and that is of seniors. The senior population spent the good part of the summer being totally scared, frightened, purposely so, with a pack of incorrect, or shall I just call them lies. Death panels, Medicare is going to be cut, other things were put out there to scare seniors into opposing this. When in fact--and you went through some of this; I want you to drive this home--when in fact, this piece of legislation that we will vote on Sunday strengthens the Medicare program and provides significant benefits and increases. So, please.
