Well, thank you. I appreciate you yielding back. We have got about 2 more minutes left. I just wanted to add something to what you just said about being enslaved. My good friend Star Parker who, by the way, is running for Congress in California, in Los Angeles, whose welfare mom got saved. She accepted Jesus Christ as her own Lord and Savior. She started looking at her lifestyle, and she started trying to break out of that welfare state that she was in and had a great deal of difficulty. She wrote a book called ``Uncle Sam's Plantation'' where she described all that. And she's been a great voice against this government largesse--socialism, if you will, because she knows how it destroys families, it destroys communities, it destroys everything. And we are headed in a direction in this country where freedom is being taken away from the American people. The American people need to stand up and say ``no'' to the steamroller of socialism and say ``yes'' to freedom. Let's stop all this government spending. Let's stop all this bigger government and government takeover, and let's put us back on the course of the Constitution with limited government. And that's what the Tea Party movement is all about. I yield back.

I think the policies of four administrations... have absolutely refused to secure our borders. To me, that is a National security issue.

Shouldn't EPA's rulemaking be based on sound science as determined independently by the Agency?

I find that reprehensible. I think all four have just steadily degraded our intel communities, as well.
