Mr. Speaker, it is not too late for my friends across
the aisle to tether themselves to the ideals that have made this
country great for generations; ideals that, if we are to be saved from
the rushing current we presently find ourselves being dragged down by,
will be, as they always have been, those ideals which save us from
ourselves. We are a nation built upon the strength of immigrants, of teachers,
of doctors, of mill workers, garbagemen and -women, small-business
owners, and farmers. We are a nation of dreamers and innovators,
respectful of our individuality and mindful of our unparalleled power
once unified in common cause. At some point, my Republican friends will, I hope, realize that their
unabashed and wholesale championing
of corporate interests at the expense of hardworking Americans is a
losing cause.
