I would like to read a few examples of some of the emails I have been receiving on the health care proposal. From Columbia, Missouri: ``Just a note to encourage you to fight hard against this horrible health care bill.'' From St. Charles, Missouri: ``Please vote `no' on the health care reform now before the House.'' From Hannibal, Missouri: ``Congressman, please vote `no' on the Senate's health care bill. We need to scrap that plan and start over.'' From Ashland, Missouri: ``Please do not vote for the health care bill.'' From Huntsville, Missouri: ``I sincerely hope you do not vote for the health care bill as it now stands.'' Finally, from Columbia, Missouri: ``Vote what your people want you to do, which is against this health care bill.'' Madam Speaker, my constituents have listened to the debate and rejected the proposed health care bill. No, no, no, no, no. What part of ``no'' does the majority not understand? I am going to listen to my constituents. I am going to be voting against the health care bill.
