Thank you. That is why we are here fighting tonight. I would like to turn it over now to my friend from Arkansas, which is just a little south of me, to Representative Rick Crawford.

Your comments were very, very helpful to what we are doing tonight, which is making people aware of how these EPA regulations hurt real people. I think your example of the 2-year fight and the $200,000 fine just for a low area in your yard…

Today, back in Missouri, this frigid cold snap is really making life miserable for everyone. We have below-zero temperatures and wind chills and a lot of snow. In fact, a lot of children are home from school today, and it is on snowy days…
