I would tell everyone just this--all those up in the Galleries, everybody--I am probably going to need your prayers to get through this, because we have had something happen in the small but great State of West Virginia that absolutely is tragic beyond belief. I mean, look at these two young, beautiful people. We have lost Sarah, haven't we? And Andrew is just clinging for his life. West Virginia is really hurting--really hurting. Our National Guard is really hurting but nowhere close--nowhere possibly close--to how these families are really hurting. So in every single way, I ask for your prayers. Just think of the call that came right before Thanksgiving--Thanksgiving, of all times of the year. Think about that call. Think about basically the senseless attack on America, but think about that call to these families and how bad bad really is. You see, in my little State of West Virginia--I will just tell you this--the people are proud; the people are smart; the people are craftsmen; they are good people; they are loving people; they are neighbors. They are absolutely a people that are appreciative--appreciative of all.

well, to this great Senate body and to all of you, I will speak from my heart. I won't have hardly any notes, but I will speak from my heart about something that I think is absolutely key to Emerald City, and that is all about energy…

You've got to grow. And that’s what I believe our president’s trying to do.
