14 Ways to Re-open the Rest of the Government NOW The House of Representatives passed 14 bills with bipartisan support over the last 10 days to fund critical functions of the government, many of which are a matter of life and death. Yet, Senate Majority Leader Reid and President Obama still refuse to take up most of these funding bills. Below is a list of the funding bills the House has passed, all of which in favor Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) voted:
In response to President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Reid's failure to fund these functions of government, Rep. Gosar said, "President Obama and the Senate Democrats' are telling the American people it is 'my way or the highway.' That is not how a representative democracy works. I am completely baffled that the Senate won't take up House-passed bills that provide funding for pediatric cancer research, the national guard and low-income women and children. This is not what the American people want. They want the President and Congress to come to the table and find solutions to end this slowdown. ### |
