This CR does nothing--nothing--to help create jobs, better wages, and ultimately a better future for our children and our families. It is really clear to me that the delay on this bill is because some House Republicans are in Pennsylvania. I was shocked when I learned this. They are in Pennsylvania with the President at a political rally. What is that about? They should be here in Washington, D.C., to do their job. Shame on them. Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``no'' vote on this rule and the bill.
