Senate Republicans Vote “No” on Jobs Bill. Obama Vows to Keep Fighting

Mitch McConnellLast night, even though a majority of Senate members voted to pass the Jobs Bill, Senate Republicans used their filibuster power to defeat the bill.  Democrats were in favor of the bill (51 out of 53 dems voted “yes”) while every single Republican voted “no”. 

The "no" votes send a clear message that the Republicans don’t care about putting millions back to work and cutting taxes for middle class Americans.  The only goal of the Republicans is to defeat Barack Obama and while they’re at it tank the economy in the process.

Even though the bill was defeated, President Obama is not letting this go.  He wants to call out the Republicans to vote on each piece of the bill; continuing to show the American people which Senators care about the middle class and which one’s do not.

Republicans, you cannot hide in the shadows of Washington and destroy the middle class, the poor and our economy.  America is watching and I and many others will do everything possible to expose those who are working for us and those who are working for the power-hungry, greedy elite.

Republicans you still have a chance to do the right thing.  The revolution is coming.  You better choose the right side.
