Consider to actions. T two actions. Its important to get an idea of the problem before a solution. Here is what they said in 2009. We are confident each of the ash basins have Structural Integrity necessary to protect the environment. What the heck happened . How are you certain . Duke supported the bill. You might ask why they are not in indiana . I would hope you consider giving citizens affected by coal ash a chance to speak are at play without interpreters. You can hear what it has been like and ask what certainty they are looking for. I think you will hear there is a certainty they will be cleaned up some time in their lifetime. Many of them have been waiting a long time. I think they would like the certainty. They would like the certainty the ash pond is not going to collapse on top of them and dump ash into the river. They can bring their own legal action if the state doesnt do anything. I will say the citizens have worked on these issues for a long time. They deserve to be hear
Back the ridiculous bill that you had intended to bring up today but did not have the votes for. They spoke out. And i am grateful to them. You know, in some respects, you look around this room and think is this a chamber of congress or is this a Doctors Office . We might as well have stethoscopes and speculums. That is what you are doing. You are trying to come between a woman and her physician. There is a lot of who block h oopla because the anniversary of roe versus wade. But roe versus wade was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States of america. Each of us, when we became members of this body, swor we would upholde the constitution.

It will raise taxes on hardworking americans, just if they happen to choose a health care that plan that this majority doesnt like. And for what . Some of my republican colleagues can score cheap political points. This is not what the American People want. They want an agenda that lifts people up. They want us to be working on legislation that creates jobs, boost paychecks in this country and strengthens our economy. This bill will do none of these things.

Could it be that the president might finally remember that on the pages of the bible on which he laid his hands were the words written in red, in as much as you have done it unto one of the least of these, buy brethren, youve done it unto me. Whether he does or not its time for those of us in this chamber
