I really have enjoyed sharing this hour with Congressman Tonko of New York and Congressman Garamendi of California, speaking out for 100 percent--the 99 percent that are often forgotten, the 1 percent that we don't forget but know that your patriotism really will come to shine in this holiday season--and to urge our colleagues in the House and Senate to do what's right, to make the decisions on extending the payroll tax holiday for the middle class, making sure we extend unemployment benefits which are earned benefits, and that we stand up for all of America because we're all in this together. I thank my colleagues very much, the listening audience, and those who are out there helping us to move the ship of state in a direction so that we create jobs in this country and we keep this economy on an upward roll.
