Ellmers Host Press Conference with Speaker Boehner, Leader Cantor, and House GOP
Leadership to Call on President Obama to Support Debt Plan with Real Caps and Spending Cuts 

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Renee Ellmers released the following statement from her office in Washington this afternoon:

"The Budget Control Act, which the House will vote on today, is a real solution to put an end to the spending-driven debt crisis and save our children and grandchildren from a bankrupt future. We must get our financial house in order and this bill will require Washington to balance its budget while preventing an economic crisis. I call on the President and Senate Leadership to allow this bill to be passed and signed into law as soon as possible."

This afternoon, Congresswoman Ellmers joined Speaker Boehner, Leader Cantor, Majority Whip McCarthy, Conference Chairman Hensarling, and Deputy Majority Whip Roskam, to speak to reporters on the debt negotiations and the Budget Control Act of 2011.
