I am not worried about what the other body is going to do. We have 230 votes on here. We have to find another 60 to make it 290. Once we do that, the ball is in their court. But we have stood and delivered to the American taxpayer. That is what we were sent here to do: Stand up for the little guy, stand up for the hard-working man and woman who are out there fighting under the taxation and regulation of this Federal bureaucracy, who do not know what makes this country run. This country was founded on free enterprise, on the principles of capitalism, and we need to return that power back to the people, and that is what they said to this Congressman from Omaha, NE, on November 8.
