“I am sure glad the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ryan) shared his closing there, and also showed us his sign. This is something I picked up today: ``Stop Privatization. Americans for Social Security.'' They have a Web site, dot com. It is actually good water. Also, this sign here: ``Keep Your Hands Off of My Social Security.'' I think it is important. We know whose hands they are talking about, those who want to privatize, not our hands. I also want to say thank you, because it is important. The reason why the polling numbers are what they are and Americans feel the way they are now, we want to thank the American Baptist Churches, USA, AFL-CIO, ACORN, Campaign For America's Future, Center For Budget Policy and Priorities, the Center For Economic Policy and Research, Children's Defense Fund, the Coalition of Human Needs, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, the Economic Policy Institute, the Labor Council of Latin American Advancement, the Consortium of Citizens With Disabilities, the League of Rural Voters, the League of United Latin American Citizens, Links, Inc., the NAACP, the National Committee To Preserve Social Security and Medicare, the National Congress of American Indians, the National Council of Churches, and I can go on and on and on. They are the individuals out there, individual Americans, that have taken upon themselves to carry the fight on.”
