House Democrats
House Dems are committed to finding a balanced solution to the fiscal cliff. We urge our GOP colleagues to return to reality and compromise.
The fiscal cliff fiasco is a microcosm of failed GOP leadership in the House. Obstruction over courage and action. #DoNothingGOP
#PlanBFacts: 25 million working families with kids would see their taxes go up by $1,000
#PlanBFacts: It provides an average tax cut of $50,000 for those making over $1 million – only 3 out of 1,000 American households.
GOP Plan B raises taxes on working families, gives millionaires $50k tax cut, does too little about the deficit. http://wapo.st/TComMh
Carolyn McCarthy
Grateful to be joined by @nancypelosi & @WhipHoyer in asking our R colleagues to join us in efforts to reduce gun violence
Boehner’s Plan B is more of the same: tax breaks for the wealthy & a tax hike on the middle class pic.twitter.com/A1VOpEAc
The President’s plan fulfills his promise to the American people. Bold and balanced. 1:1 revenues to spending cuts. Time to act Mr. Speaker
President continues to meet @SpeakerBoehner more than half way. Time for the GOP to compromise
Jim Himes

Rep. Joe Courtney
#Newtown shooting is an horrific, senseless tragedy. Thoughts and prayers for victims, families, and the Sandy Hook Elementary community.
Rosa DeLauro
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in #Newtown today. Terrible, senseless tragedy. #SandyHook #CTshooting
The thoughts and prayers of all House Democrats are with those who lost their lives in today’s senseless shooting in Connecticut.
House GOP is skipping town, leaving a pile of unfinished work behind. Time for the #DoNothingGOP to stop holding the middle class hostage!
Sorry GOP. Still no link between tax cuts for the rich and economic growth no matter how you do the math. http://1.usa.gov/12nAkgQ
Poll: 76% of Americans and even 61% of Republicans want to see higher taxes on the richest 2% to lower the deficit. http://on.wsj.com/XdM9Sr
Rep. Xavier Becerra
@HouseDemocrats & American people agree w/ growing number of Republicans... "Take the 98% deal." http://bit.ly/UCotas #DoTheRightThing #My2K
Chris Van Hollen
Reissued CRS report rips the last fig leaf off the GOP fiction that tax cuts for the top 2%=economic growth - http://bit.ly/RrGOuj
Nancy Pelosi
House GOP dismissing Congress after 2-day work week. Why are we going home instead of reaching #fiscalcliff agreement? http://youtu.be/hEFVVHN_ipg
