For those people on our farms that want to get rid of their surplus and sell it, for those people who really believe that we've got a long way to go to get the hopes of Americans up and to have our U.S. trade Representative, our multinationals to understand that it's not just a good agreement for the shareholders, but it is a good agreement for America, for those that believe in the Speaker and the minorities, that we're doing what's best, not for labor and not just for fund raising, but we're doing what we think is best, don't challenge our integrity. Vote your conscience. But this is a heck of a time to make certain that we're not known to be against trade. We're for trade. We're for trade that makes sense in terms of honesty, job creation, and what's good for each and every American. Do we have a long way to go? Yes. Is this a beginning? You bet your life. Anytime we're taking down trade barriers and countries are open to buy what we make in the U.S.A., it's almost unpatriotic not to let them do what we do best. But don't you challenge my integrity, and don't do it for the Speaker, because I won't challenge your ``no'' because you're doing what you think is the right thing.
