Dear Friend,
The American people are struggling and want jobs. President Obama’sState of the Union address featured more of the same class warfare rhetoric and empty promises he’s given us since he took office. The President claims that jobs are a top priority to his administration, but then he blocks the Keystone pipeline project, an effort which had bipartisan support. Working with our Canadian neighbors to the North, the pipeline would have created thousands of private-sector jobs and was even supported by the President’s own ‘Jobs Council.’
President Obama has made it clear that he has no plans to take a break from his endless campaign, and he is ignoring his duty to the American people. House Republicans continue to pass budgets (something the Senate Democrats have not done for 1,001 days) and have passed a total of 28 jobs bills that are being ignored by the Democrats in the Senate. On behalf of the millions of Americans who are out of work, I hope the President will commit to stop campaigning and begin work with Congress on slashing spending and passing legislation that cuts unnecessary regulation and frees up capital for small businesses. This is the only way we can unleash our economy and begin the recovery that our nation so desperately needs.
Sincerely,
Kenny Marchant
