Right. This Republican leadership is so out of touch with the American people. When we all go home and talk to our constituents, we get an earful. They want to see people connected with the people back home, and that is our job, especially in this body that is the closest representative body in the Federal Government. That is our job. We work for the people back home. And if we are not speaking out and speaking up to implement that here in these programs, whether it is Iraq, whether it is rebuilding the gulf, whether it is this budget reconciliation, it is about priorities and expressing those people's beliefs here; but that is not getting through with this leadership.
