You can tell from the previous speaker how eager our Democratic colleagues are to shut down this government: Get the votes to keep this government open because we won't provide them; get the votes to keep funding our military and security, but we won't provide them; get the votes to provide healthcare long- term for our children and families, because our Democratic colleagues won't provide not one vote; get the votes to delay the damaging impact of ObamaCare taxes, the health insurance tax, the Cadillac tax, and medical device; you get those votes, Republicans, because we are not going to give you even one of them. These taxes are so damaging to our families, to our workers, and to our job-creators, it is sending jobs out of America overseas. Get the votes, Republicans, because we claim we support this, we just won't support it with our votes. It is regrettable because these are bipartisan issues, and politics are shutting this government down. I urge my Democratic colleagues to stand with Republicans on behalf of children, and families, and workers. Keep this government open.
