“We will do it in October. I guarantee the majority leader of that. But we will do it either the easy way or the hard way. We will do it the easy way, by scheduling Democrats and Republicans in a way that makes sense in getting a unanimous consent that works, or we will do it the hard way, we will do it the way we had to do on Kennedy-Kassebaum, we will do it the way we had to do it on minimum wage, we will do it the way we did it on disaster. But we will do it and do it and do it until it is done. That is a promise. So we can play games on schedule and we can position ourselves and talk about how much we are in favor of campaign finance reform, but the bottom line is it is going to be more than rhetoric. We are going to get this job done the hard way or the easy way. It is going to get done. I yield the floor.”
