“It is a great model. Again I really commend the leadership of these various States that I mentioned that have initiated the tax credit philosophy and are seeing it work in their States. They have done so on a bipartisan basis. Once again, this is not a partisan sort of thing at all. These kids do not care whether Republicans or Democrats introduce these bills. What they want is they just want them to pass. If I can use my State as a good example, we have got this debate taking place in the State Legislature of Colorado today. Right now it is taking place. What we have there is a Republican in our State House of Representatives who introduced this legislation and the same bill is being carried in our State Senate by a Democrat and a pretty liberal one at that. So you have both ends of the political spectrum that are rallying around children for a change. That is the kind of political unity that I think we need to see more of in this Congress and hopefully it does not have to only take place around tragedies and terrorist attacks, and we can finally have this kind of unanimous consent around something that is positive and something that provides hope for the Nation, and that is our country's children.”
