Just give more information to people. In closing, I thank my colleagues, the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Stupak), the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Strickland), the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pascrell), the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Lynch), and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Paul), who is here on the other side of the aisle, who has always been a strong opponent of bad free trade laws. I would close by saying, as the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Strickland) said, corporate CEOs, the President, cabinet officials will all be lobbying this institution big time in the next week. I hope that coming out of this Special Order tonight that people will understand better what our trade policy does to our values and our way of life, and that the American people will rise to the occasion and continue to push Members of Congress to do the right thing next week when we vote down Fast Track Trade Promotion Authority.
