I'm pleased to be here with the Doctors Caucus and the friends that have done battle with me and others here in this Congress and across this country to kill this idea of taking over our health care and establishing socialized medicine. This is an American effort, an American endeavor to tell the liberals and the progressives in this Congress that we will not have them take away our liberty. And Dr. Gingrey mentioned the Tea Party Patriots. They have come to this city and packed this Capitol. There are a number of Tea Party groups that are out there. A lot of other Patriots out there in other ways. The 9/12 Project people that have started, and then we saw the Patriots show up on April 15 and then again and again throughout the town hall meetings, and last August, the end of September came to this city, and 10,000 to 50,000 people packed this city on November 5 to say, Take your hands off of my health care.
