Madam Speaker, while House Republicans spend the next 2 weeks bringing up silly partisan bills aimed at embarrassing the President, House Democrats remain focused on the real solutions that matter to the American people. It is time to put the middle class above partisan politics. It is time to vote to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour and give struggling families a real chance to be in the middle class. What is wrong with women receiving equal pay for equal work? Let's bring the Paycheck Fairness Act to the floor to make sure that women are treated equally in the workplace. These bills and many others are part of the Democrats' Middle Class Jumpstart America agenda, a plan to fight for the middle class, put families before special interests, and reignite the American Dream for all those who want to work hard for it. Let's put partisan politics aside and help the people that are struggling out there in the middle class to get back on their feet. ____________________
