“I will tell the gentleman, those are the kinds of values that we talk about as it relates to our communities and our neighborhoods and our families. That is what it is all about. Those are true American family values. Like I said, I have kids and I watch grandma. They push me aside and say, I am on their side, and say, we are against you; and they spoil them and then they say, now you take them home. But as it relates to the financial viability of the bloodline of the family, grandparents and even parents, they do not say, I have mine, get yours, son. I am 56; you are 30. Good luck. They do not say, well, I have all my benefits, but I do not know about yours. And guess what, I want to make sure that people understand because sometimes, yes, the campaign is over; but in our democracy, there will be other elections. And people need to take into account that sometimes, not from what you receive in the mail, not the phone call which you receive, not someone coming to tell you where you should stand on a particular candidate because he is our guy or our gal. It is what that individual has done or what that individual will do as an elected Member of this Congress as it relates to what is happening in my family economically. I have to make sure that my daughter, if someone is receiving benefits now and they are called to glory, they have to make sure that their daughter is going to be able to receive their benefits; and Social Security is pretty much all they have.”
