    we deliberate the important issues before us.  Help us to keep                                  
    in mind that we are State Representatives; that we do have an                                   
    obligation to our Districts, but over all, we always must ask,                                  
    "Is it fair to all concerned and of benefit to all areas of the                                 
    state?"                                                                                         
                                                                                                    
    Be with our families who have sacrificed their share of us                                      
    while we serve as legislators.  Be with our troops everywhere                                   
    they may be serving, along with their families who have given

       us wisdom, knowledge, and understanding as we do our work

Representative Croft moved and asked unanimous consent that                                         
Amendment No. 3 be adopted.

Representative Harris objected.                                                                     
                                                                                                    
Representative Kapsner rose to a point of order stating the member                                  
was impugning the motives of other members and the member had                                       
spoken more than once.                                                                              
                                                                                                    
The Speaker noted the point and further stated he would allow some                                  
latitude for members to speak more than once.                                                       
                                                                                                    
Representative Croft placed a call of the House.                                                    
                                                                                                    
The call was satisfied.                                                                             
                                                                                                    
The question being:  "Shall Amendment No. 3 be adopted?"  The roll                                  
was taken with the following result:
