Political Quotes

“Right now Californians in my home district face an almost 14 percent unemployment rate and are dealing with the fourth highest rate of foreclosures in the Nation. What my constituents need above all else is for both of us, Republicans and Democrats, to come together on creating new jobs. Yet in the last 18 weeks the Republicans have controlled the House, they have yet to bring one single bill focused on creating jobs. Instead, they have put forward a partisan agenda that is more about scoring political points than helping American families. We should be putting American families back to work. We should not be voting to dismantle safety nets for seniors and vulnerable Americans. The Republican attacks on Medicare and Medicaid go against our core values and threaten the health care of 44 million low-income Americans. It is time to stop political games. Let's work together, and I say let's work together and focus on straightening out our economy and creating jobs. ____________________”
