                     PRESERVE AND PROTECT MEDICARE

  (Mr. KINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, not since Mother's Day have Democrat 
mommas across America gotten so much attention.
  But what are Democrats' sons and daughters telling them? It is a 
nostalgic piece of Chicken Little, ``The Sky Is Falling.'' Yes, with 
creativity of Steven Spielberg, they are story-telling.
  They should remember this one: Two mothers, two women were fighting 
over the same baby. The wise King Solomon pulled out a sword and said, 
``Cut the child in half.'' One would-be mother said, ``Fine.'' The 
other one said, ``No, never.'' Love is stronger. Love of a parent 
deserves love of a child.

  What a different bill we would have today if the Democrats would 
follow the example of love. The love of a Mother Theresa rather than 
the terror of a Stephen King. If the Democrats criticism energy were 
spent coming to the table rather than launching grenades at those who 
sit at the table, what a better bill we would have. It is time to put 
love of parents and love of seniors above love of politics and 
partisanship.
  Mr. Speaker, let us do the right think to do: Reform, protect, and 
preserve Medicare.
