Bush Republicans Block America's Priorities

December 5, 2007 -- Democratic Senators Chuck Schumer, Debbie Stabenow and Robert Menendez held a press conference today to discuss how Republicans and the President have blocked at every turn Democrats' efforts to address America's priorities. "This year, it has become ever clearer that the 'R' next to the names of our friends from across the aisle stands for 'Roadblock,'" Menendez said. On a whole range of basic, kitchen table, pocketbook issues that Americans discuss with their families every day , the president and his party have inexplicably chosen to pick a fight. This is a president and a party who say no, no, no when it comes to investing in our families, but yes, yes, yes when it comes to more troops, more time and more money for their stay the course plan in Iraq."

While Senate Democrats have been able to accomplish many of our goals, there is still much left to do. Bush Republicans are holding America's priorities hostage, refusing to fund critical needs at home unless we pour more money into Iraq.
