We're going to be heading to Michigan, Wisconsin. So people in Vermont, you'll have to forgive me a little bit. I may not be back home as much as I would like, but I think it's important to get around the country to go to those marginal districts to explain to people what is in this horrific piece of legislation and other actions on the part of the Trump administration. So they know. So they tell their Republican Congress people not to support all of that. And I think Becca made a very important point. (1:50:47–1:51:00)
