today is the third anniversary of President Clinton's handshake agreeing with Speaker Gingrich to have real campaign finance reform here in the House of Representatives. Last night, the majority whip actually said when he was talking about campaigning, and I quote him, he said, ``We don't spend enough money in campaigns.'' While he and his cohorts talked against a constitutional amendment that he himself brought to the House of Representatives, it was absolutely clear to everybody listening that they do not get it. They do not understand that the people of this country want a real debate about campaign finance reform. They do not want a ruse. They do not want stalling. And the people of this country want back into the election process.
