Political Quotes

On the recordNovember 18, 2011
I want to point out that I neglected to say earlier in response to my colleague who said we hadn't passed any House bills, that those were bipartisan bills that passed. Every one of the jobs bills that we passed has received bipartisan support, and the American people want us to be bipartisan, and I hope that they have noticed in the debate today that the vitriol about this bill has not come from our side of the aisle. House Republicans are committed to reducing government red tape as a way to encourage job creation. The rule before us today provides for consideration of yet another bill to reduce government interference in job creation by reinstating the traditional standards for unions organizing elections and ensuring that employees' and employers' voices are heard. Therefore, I urge my colleagues to vote for this rule and the underlying bill. I yield back the balance of my time, and I move the previous question on the resolution.
