I want to begin by thanking my wife Elizabeth, who is here in the gallery, for her constant support during my service in the United States Congress, and to thank the people of Ohios 10th Congressional District for their constant support, as well as a great Congressional staff, both at the district and the DC level.
I also, before I make further remarks, want to express my support for my colleagues from New York and New Jersey, in their tireless efforts on behalf of their constituents who have suffered so grievously from Hurricane Sandy.
We must unite for the people.
And that is really the idea of the United States. Its the Unity of States. But its even deeper than that. Its expressive of the Unity of People, that its all for one and one for all. Our nations first motto, E pluribus unum, out of many we are one, stresses the power of unity.

We don't like those kinds of politicians in America.
WE prefer the kind who speak up for Corporations.
