A ``no'' vote on the previous question would mean that this body could take an up-or-down vote on whether or not to save these 750,000 jobs while still reducing the deficit in the ways that I just talked about.

But to fail to take a vote is to avoid that responsibility. Let's accept our responsibility to turn off this sequester, save those 750,000 jobs and vote ``no'' on the previous question.
