Again I want to recommend to all the Members that they support this legislation. It is a real step forward in giving parents a tool they can use to protect their kids under 12 when they are on-line. The sooner we pass this is the sooner we can put this additional protection in place. I want to thank again the majority for their cooperation in working with us in a way in which we can craft a bill that we can honestly recommend to every Member, Democrat, Republican, liberal or conservative, that will move forward to help the families in our country.
