We need to get as many Members as possible on this discharge petition because, if we can get a majority on the discharge petition by the time we come back or soon after that in the weeks that follow, we can finally bring the Patient Bill of Rights or the PARCA bill, these types of managed care reforms, to the floor. And again I just want to commend you for your effort in moving in that direction because this is the time. If we are not going to pass this now when there is so much support for it, we are never going to pass it, and we have got to try and get more and more of our colleagues on board.
