We could pass a health care reform bill this week with more than 60 votes, and it would be bipartisan, if he just took a few things out of the bill.
I hope that the spirit of bipartisanship... will guide your Committee's consideration of the deprivation of voting representation in Congress for citizens of our Capital City.
