corporate responsibility and personal integrity is on the minds of most Americans. After all, honesty and integrity have always been the backbone of our American way of life. When I was a young girl, I used to frequently see my dad seal a business deal with a handshake, which he always honored. There sure is not a lot of that going around today, is there? We, the Members of Congress, have an opportunity to play an important role, beyond our usual duties, in determining the future direction of America. We have a very clear choice of either being examples of steadfast integrity or continuing to just be more examples of the lack of integrity we see so much of today. Which will it be?
