I think it's very, very important that the American people absolutely know what's going on here. They're worried about the health care that's been passed by this House, they're worried about jobs, they're worried about the cap-and-tax legislation, they're worried about the EPA and other mandates that are being forced down their throats. But I think it's important probably to start off talking about the health care a little bit here. I don't think there's anybody in this Chamber, there's not one person in this country that would say that we shouldn't do something about having some meaningful debate on health care in this country. But when we're looking at it, what we've seen happening is we've seen, as has been mentioned by my colleagues from Texas and also from Pennsylvania, it's been a one-way street. And the American people don't care for that. They want an open debate, and they want to make sure that they know what's going on.
