Political Quotes

On the recordSeptember 9, 2014
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.
