I want more people to have the opportunity to create patents, to use ingenuity, to do well based on their thought processes. And I'm afraid now this bill will prevent us from having the opportunity to have more Darrell Issas. We keep hearing, you know, we need comprehensive bills. And red flags went up in my mind. And where have I heard that? Oh, yes, on immigration reform. We had to have a comprehensive bill because there were some things that needed to be passed, some people thought, that they knew could not pass if they had the bright enough light of day shown on them, and so we have a comprehensive bill to put some things in there that do more damage than good. We need more time to look at these provisions so that we can ensure that there are more Darrell Issas that get to have the same opportunities to do as well and make us as proud as our good friend from California.
