“sometimes I get tired of all the bad news. You come here and you listen to the speeches that go before the House and you think, my goodness gracious, there must be all sorts of bad news out there. When I go home and I talk to constituents at home about any issue, I often lead off with saying, ``I am going to have to tell you some things that you haven't seen on television and that you haven't read in the newspaper,'' because the good news, the good news that is happening here, oftentimes gets smothered with all the bad news and all the political sniping that goes on. I was pleased to hear the gentlewoman from Virginia (Mrs. Drake) just now get up and demonstrate her passion, her passion, for principles that we hold dear here in the United States. I was also wonderfully pleased to hear the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick) earlier talk about the importance of health care and Health Savings Accounts, an exciting proposal, an exciting policy that we have here, that we have adopted in the Congress, that will allow individuals greater choice in health care. That is good news. That is good news. When I read my local paper, I have got to get way down in that paper before I see good news. In terms of politics, all you see is who is fighting whom and what will not happen. It is remarkable. So I am here to talk about a little good news today, because we have good news that we need to spread across this Nation.…”
