No. I am reminded that Morgan Freeman or the main character of the movie wanted to get a library for the prison. Frankly, their strategy was every single day they sent a letter. The reason why I have great respect for the Senator from Rhode Island is he has been relentless, to my knowledge, in a way I did not know about before I came to the Senate--but relentlessly and constantly nonstop, not only one time when we are going for an entire day, but every single week going to the floor and speaking to this issue, speaking truth to power, using his office to try to not only speak to issues pertaining only to his State, but to speak to issues that relate to our planet, and I have generated a lot of respect for the Senator in his consistency.
