Put Politics Aside and Pass the Bipartisan JOBS Act

March 21, 2012

‘This bill is exactly the kind of thing Americans have been asking for — greater freedom and flexibility. And that’s one of the reasons it’s had such overwhelming bipartisan support. At a moment when millions are looking for work and Democrats say they want more bipartisan action on jobs, this is it. This is a layup. Let’s get it done.’

Instead of Creating Jobs, Senate Democrats Focus on Campaign Attacks

March 15, 2012

‘Now we read that they’re trying to figure out ways to make this overwhelmingly bipartisan bill controversial. They want to pick a fight, rather than get this bill to the President’s desk. And then they’re going to use the same strategy on a number of other bills.
Their plan isn’t to work together to make it easier create jobs, but to look for ways to make it easier to keep their own.’

Let’s Take Up the JOBS Act, Continue to Process Nominations

March 14, 2012

‘As I suggested yesterday, we could get to the bi-partisan JOBS Act this week and process some judicial nominees. The JOBS Act passed the House by a vote of 390 to 23, and the President says he supports it. While we’re working on a bill to help get people back to work, we can make progress on other judicial nominations. So I encourage the Majority to work with us on both legislation and nominations, not to go off on a partisan, and unprecedented, path that won’t get us anywhere, and won’t solve the problems Americans care about.’
