I do not doubt they are acting in the public interest or that the senior Senator from Nebraska is acting in the public interest. I do not doubt that. That is not the point I am making. I am saying, look out there for who it is that is asking for change. It is corporate America. If I polled the people of Nebraska to rank this on their agenda, the only thing they would mention is probably the Communication Decency Act.
