I appreciate my colleague doing that because I strongly support, as I think most every Senator will, the Dole amendment. I agree with Senator Dole; it is time to put these myths to bed and these conjured-up illustrations that some of the far left have been trying to pass on to the media and to an unsuspecting media, I have to say, because I personally do not believe these media writers are literally going to just distort this the way they have without being fed the wrong material. So hopefully this will end some of these outrageous articles that literally are not based on fact and in fact are downright untruthful. I cannot wait until tomorrow to bring up my next top 10 silly regulations. Let me start with 10. No. 10. Trespassing on private land and seizing a man's truck on the claim that he poisoned eagles even though the Federal Government had no evidence that he did so. I just love these illustrations.
