I think the gentleman has enunciated very eloquently what it is we stand for and why it is that we sought office and what we are doing to accomplish the goals that many of us stood for and campaigned on. It is especially poignant, I think, when we look just a couple of years ago when we had a President who, with the liberals in control of this body, passed a tax hike. There was a discussion about ever-expanding government bureaucracy, universal health care, and then suddenly the stark contrast, that we are returning power to the people, getting it out of this city and giving it back to the Main Streets and the local chambers of commerce and civic clubs all across this great land. I agree with the gentleman that this Fourth of July will certainly be a day to celebrate.

I appreciate first of all the tone in which the gentleman offers this amendment. In the health care field, the Hippocratic Oath says first do no harm. A colloquialism from the outstate Missouri region that I think is appropriate here is…
