I come to the well to brag as a Coloradan because we are all so proud of the Colorado National Guard. They setup a M*A*S*H type operation in down town Denver and have been delivering medical services to all sorts of homeless people who have not been near any kind of medical service in years. It is a very touching and moving operation. But I think for American taxpayers it is also wonderful to see this kind of operation going on at home, on the home shores for Americans, and I hope that National Guards across the country are challenged by this and do the same kind of outreach in many of our American cities where these terrible crises have been allowed to grow and grow and grow with no one answering back. I say to the Colorado National Guard, 'You have really set the pace for the rest of the country, and we all thank you.'

I find that fairly astonishing, that they tell us we can go outside and talk about it, but we cannot talk about it on the floor.
