I want to say, even though we are the majority, we still want your ideas. We want the Democrat party to put a plan on the table. On the subject of town meetings, I personally held nine town meetings. There is a lot of division out there as to what we should do, and that is why it should be done in a bipartisan way, and that is why I think everybody needs to come together. And Mr. Speaker, I want to say this: I have not introduced the plan. If the gentleman would like to work with me on a plan, I would love to have the Hastings-Kingston bill, or the Kingston-Hastings bill, if we could do that, because I think it is important. I know the gentleman's fondness for seniors. I have heard the gentleman speak fondly about his mom, and he has heard me speak fondly about my mom, and we owe it to both of them, and that is what we should be doing.
