The American people are rightfully fed up. The Obama Presidency has meant only more power for Washington and more debt for our children and grandchildren, while the Obama economy produces only less confidence for job creators and too few jobs for Americans. When it comes to fostering job growth, the difference between House Republicans and Senate Democrats for more than a year now has been the difference between action and inaction. Following the House Republican Plan for America's Job Creators, the House has already passed more than 30 bipartisan jobs bills to restore the freedom and confidence of our Nation's job creators to do their job. Unfortunately, 27 of these bipartisan jobs bills are still being ignored or blocked in the do- nothing Democrat Senate. It's time for Washington Democrats to join our fight to put Americans back to work and get to work enacting those jobs bills. ____________________
