We have a lot more on our plate now that the Democrats are in the majority. But I am glad the three of us were able to come back together this evening to continue our effort to speak to both our generation and to the American people about our concerns and the Democratic new direction that we have been successful in moving in since November 7th when we were victorious in the election and when the American people indicated to this Congress that they wanted to move in a new direction. We struggled through the last number of years. Gradually, and unfortunately a cloud hung over this institution and this Capitol, a culture of corruption had developed, and we just could not allow it to continue any longer.
