And I Want Every One Of You, Every One Of Us, 100 Senators To Look In That Camera, And You Tell Your People Back Home What You Think. Don't Hide Anymore; None Of Us. That Is The Essence Of Our Responsibility. And If We're Not Willing To Do It, We're Not Worthy To Be Seated Right Here. We Fail Our Country. If We Don't Debate This, If We Don't Debate This, We Are Not Worthy Of Our Country. We Fail Our Country.
