Although President Obama has emerged as one of the most consequential and successful presidents in American history, he continues to face unprecedented Congressional opposition. We need a Congress that will work with the President to increase the minimum wage and create jobs. Please vote tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 4th. Lets give Obama a Congress he can work with. • Republicans repeatedly filibustered a bill to fund health care for 9/11 responders. (H.R. 847) • They filibustered a bill (S. 3816) to keep more jobs in the U.S. by stopping tax breaks for companies shipping jobs overseas. • Republicans filibustered a bill to put thousands of public school teachers, police and firefighters back to work (S. 1723). • They filibustered the Rebuild American Jobs Act (S. 1769) which would have created 2 - 3 million jobs. • They filibustered the Paycheck Fairness Act (s.3220) which would allow women to be paid the same as men for doing the same work. - They killed the Veterans Job Corps Act which would have created jobs for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. This is the worst do-nothing Congress in our countrys history and its not by accident. Republicans dont want anything to get better until Obama is out of office. Unfortunately for them, the economy is getting better despite their best efforts to thwart an economic recovery.
