Jump Starting Our Economy...
Click the 'play' button to start video.
February 19, 2008 - Last week President Bush signed a bipartisan economic stimulus package into law that will help millions of people who are struggling in an uncertain economy. Congress had promised to act quickly and effectively to help those who need it most and that law represented the promise Senate Democrats kept to the American people. Senate Democrats are proud to have pushed to include 20 million seniors and 250,000 disabled veterans in this stimulus plan.
Senate Democrats will continue fighting to strengthen our economy in the long-term by addressing the housing crisis, reversing President Bush's disastrous budget cuts and helping those whom Senate Republicans refused to help.
Macromedia Flash Player required.
The Senate will convene at 2:00 p.m. and will be in a period of morning business with Senators permitted to speak for up to 10 minutes each, with the time until 5:30 p.m. equally divided and controlled between the two Leaders or their designees. There will be no roll call votes on Monday.
Senators should be prepared to vote as early as 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday in relation to the following items: the McConnell amendment No. 4720 (energy) with a 60-vote threshold; the Reid amendment (energy) with a 60-vote threshold; passage of the flood insurance legislation (either S. 2284 or H.R. 3121); and cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R. 980 (collective bargaining).
