On the recordJuly 25, 2001
the majority leader has questioned my right or anyone's right to bring an amendment of this nature. I will not yield to him one inch. I am not President, Vice President, majority leader, minority leader, committee chair, or ranking member. I am only one Member who understands one basic thing about my constituents: They question whether this administration understands the depth of the problems that they are experiencing. I am only here not to do anything about Mr. Cheney, I am just here asking my colleagues to make it so that the Vice President of the United States, who works for all of us, Democrat and Republican alike, can look Americans in the eye and say, my electrical bills are going up, too.
