In addition to asking this Congress to address America's unfinished business, the President has set forth bold new proposals to offer greater opportunity for all Americans. These are real solutions that will meet our priorities in the 21st Century, and they deserve serious consideration. Republicans say they have no interest in working with Democrats or the President to address issues like real HMO reform, lowering prescription drug prices, and creating safer and better schools. This is just some of the crucial unfinished business that Republican Leaders kept us from addressing last year. I agree with the President, we do not have a year to waste in working for our future.
Democrats are ready to get to work to expand our prosperity and invest in the future.
We invite reasonable Republicans in Congress to reject their right wing leaders, and join with us in addressing Americans' everyday, kitchen-table concerns.
