I just want to say to the gentleman from Ohio that I have been to the Edmund Pettus Bridge. I went there with John Lewis. John Lewis is a great American. I supported title V and the Civil Rights Act. So I appreciate your remarks and your candidness, but all of us should not castigate all the rest of us and throw us in groups because all of us are free thinkers, independent thinkers, and are committed to the betterment of the United States of America and seeing to it that everybody has a vote who deserves a vote, and I will always fight for that. I yield the floor.
