On the recordJuly 29, 2010
The Senator from Maine is right when she says we have to move to help this economy, and this bill is one of the answers. That is why it has such broad support. Republicans and Democrats across the country support this, Independent voters support this, small businesses support this. The only group that is filibustering this bill happens to be the Republicans in the Senate. I am telling you, if they say no again, they are hurting this economy.
