December 12, 2007 -- Senators Charles Schumer, Patty Murray and Debbie Stabenow held a press conference today to discuss Republicans' refusal to legislate, instead continuing to stand in the way of Democrats' efforts to address America's priorities. Democrats believe the stakes are too high to play games with funding for these critical needs.
"Americans are tired of the status quo and they are tired of people who are impeding change," Schumer said. "Republicans might think that by blocking our efforts at making real progress they are only hurting Democrats, but the real victims of their obstruction are all Americans."
