Work. They will not let the Tea Party Republicans stop the progress of our country. They are going to demand justice. They are going to demand that the shutdown ends and that the spirit of the American People be recognized. What we need to do, mr. President , is to get the Government Back to work for the American People of the senate has to send the house a bill that will end the shutdown. The house should schedule a vote for this bill immediately t. Will pass. Immediately. It will pass. We should not be cutting the National Institutes of health that is working to fund the cure for cancer, for alzheimers, for parkinsons and other diseases that devastate families in our country. We should not be keeping our civilian defense workers off the job. We should be coming together to create jobs to build Better Futures for all americans. And we should make sure that america pays its bills and does not default on its debts. We need to raise the debt ceiling. Now is the time, mr. President. Let u
I am amazed that after this conference passed unanimously, the senate has unanimously, and the president signed instructions that our military and civilian contractors should be held harmless in this entire shutdown that after a week we are still waiting for them to implement the law that was put to place a week ago.

Consider where our country stands right now. When george w. Bush left office, the dow was at 7900. T is now above 15,000. At the height of the great bush recession, unemployment peaked at 10 . It is now at 7. 3 . Our deficit has been cut in half. We are making progress. We are not there yet. Many americans continue to struggle.

They are putting our economic recovery at risk. They are signaling to the world that america
