To my friend from Georgia, my mother always told me that actions speak louder than words. And anybody can go anywhere and say anything, but when you are given an opportunity to take those words that you spoke and put them into action, and for the American people to be able to see that you are sincere in what you are saying, your votes should match what your words are. As we know, as all of us have been in politics, and I see the gentlewoman from Tennessee has joined us here, but in politics you can tell your constituents anything in the world, but they will know honestly how you feel when you vote. And that is what they should do and we should all be held accountable for our votes. And hopefully we will. Hopefully the truth will come out. I just appreciate so much you taking the time to do this and all the efforts that you have put forward to get the good Republican principled message out: that we are about American families. We are about them having more money in their pockets that they can use on discretionary spending for their families and to be able to plan for their future. Thank you very much.
