The one last question I would ask the gentlewoman: The Congressional Black Caucus gave a document, as a matter of fact, to the President that said we have a lot to lose. In asking that question--and the gentlewoman has again done an excellent job in laying out historical perspective for where we are-- obviously, as African Americans, it seems like, to me, there has to be a huge fear factor because, if the only check and balance, obviously, is the Congressional Black Caucus being the conscience of the Congress, and the United States Senate, you know, is that check and balance, what would you say to African Americans, Latinos, others relating to where we are, because this is a very crucial time. What would the gentlewoman say when he says, ``What the hell do you have to lose?'' and we say, ``We have a lot to lose''? What would you say? What would you say to the people?
