We'll put that on the floor, and every Member of this House, all 435 Members, will have the opportunity to say to the American people, Yes, on December 12, we're going to tell you that on January 1 your taxes will not go up. Give us that opportunity. Give us that opportunity to say ``yes'' to the American middle class. Give us the opportunity to say ``yes'' to certainty in our economy. Give us the opportunity to say ``yes,'' we agree on something, and aren't you proud of the fact that when we agree, your Congress can act? Let's say ``yes.'' Vote ``no'' on the previous question, and then vote ``yes'' for the middle class.
