WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Renee Ellmers released the following statement this morning on the one year anniversary of President Obama's "Recovery Summer":

"Today marks the one-year anniversary of President Obama's Recovery Summer. A year later, our unemployment is still over 9 percent while polls continue to show increasing anxiety over the state of the economy and a vast majority of Americans seeing the country heading in the wrong direction. We need jobs in this country. If the President is serious about his call for 'all hands on deck' this summer, he could start by reigning in the overbearing regulations being enforced by his agencies and unelected bureaucrats."
