There are a lot of patriotic Americans who love this country, who have built businesses and treat their employees very well.

I have been working on my, with my staff, on legislation to support community banks, who are, frankly, suffering under these Basel III absurd treatment of these assets.

I just want to applaud your continued efforts there to bring fairness to the cities around this country.
