Better than a day ago this House acted in a bipartisan manner to be able to fund government, to make sure that Members of Congress have to abide by the same laws that they pass, to make sure that individuals, just like big businesses, are going to be treated fairly under the Affordable Care Act, and to fully fund government. This passed with bipartisan support out of the House of Representatives. The offer is there. Government can open today. Senator Reid just needs to pick up the phone and answer the call to make sure that we're working together in that bipartisan fashion, as we demonstrated in the House of Representatives, to work for the American people. Government can open today. Senator Reid just needs to pick up the phone and listen to the voice of the House of Representatives. Let's make sure that the laws that we pass apply to Congress and that all Americans are treated fairly. ____________________
