mr. citron, i'm tired of talking, i'm tired of having discussions. we know the answer here. here's the ultimate answer. stand behind your product. go to the american courtroom and defend your practices. open up the courthouse door. until you do that, nothing will change. until these people can be sued for the damage they're doing, it is all talk. i'm a republican who believes in free enterprise. but i also believe that every american who has been wronged has to have somebody to go to do complain. there is no commission to go to that can punish you. there is not one law on the book because you oppose everything we do and you can't be sued. that has to stop, folks. how do you expect the people in the audience to believe that we're going to help their families if we don't have some system or combination of systems to hold these people accountable because for all the up side, the dark side is too great to live with. we do not need to live this way as americans. >> thank you, senator graham. senator klobuchar is next. she's been quite a leader on the subject for quite a long time
