Thank you. I believe the American people know what's going on up here, and they're going to say ``no'' to ObamaCare. The American people have already spoken. They're going to say ``no'' to all of this sham, this secrecy, this putting things together with just a few people who won't let Democrats or Republicans be engaged in setting things up. It's all a show. It's a joke. It's a bunch of clowns who are just trying to make something look different than it is. It is nothing but trying to ramrod a health care takeover by the Federal Government, by this administration, and by the leadership. The American people need to stand up and tell their Congressmen, their Senators ``no'' to this sham, ``no'' to ObamaCare--and we can defeat it. I encourage people all over this country to start calling first thing in the morning, Mr. Speaker, every Congressmen in this Congress and every Senator and say ``no'' to this sham, ``no'' to ObamaCare and ``no'' to a government takeover of the health care system. My patients and my patients' families depend upon it--the American people just saying ``no.'' With that, we as Republicans are not the party of N-O; we are the party of K-N-O-W. We can lower the cost of health care if our issues will get on the table and if we can discuss those. I yield back.
