Steve Daines: “Our friends in the Senate are once again playing games with the future of our country. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid…”

“Our friends in the Senate are once again playing games with the future of our country. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has kindly offered to allow Senators to vote on a nonbinding resolution expressing support for building the Keystone XL pipeline. That is right, a nonbinding expression that requires no action and no real solutions. Well, grand gestures and words alone don't create jobs. The American people deserve real action. Senate Democrats who claim to support approving the Keystone XL pipeline need to stand up and demand that Harry Reid allow a real vote to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, a vote that actually puts words into action and rhetoric into results. The American people have waited long enough. Montanans are tired of the political games, the endless delays, and politicians who refuse to put job creation ahead of partisanship. The House has acted. It is time for the Senate to step up and do the same. ____________________”
