I call it revolutionary, and if we started the revolution today, I am proud of it. It is going to take people all across this country joining us in this endeavor to get this Tax Code out of our hair once and for all and go to a very sensible tax that we now will allow the American people to decide on how they are going to pay their taxes, not the IRS and not Congress anymore. And I think when we start talking about this from coast to coast, north to south, people are beginning to come aboard. A year ago the debate had already begun, and since then we have been on talk shows, radio, TV, all of us have, and it is starting to gel, just the people who were there today that were holding up the placards were from California and from Texas and from Oregon and Florida and Arizona and everywhere, and they made a long trip. There was an 88-year-old gentleman who came in from Houston into Virginia, drove 8 hours to get up to Boston. Now that is dedication.
