Americans agree that its time for washington democrats to work with us to remedy the mess they created, and that means repealing this law and replacing it with real reforms. Its time for them to work with us on a real jobs agenda, too, to take up the numerous bills the house has already sent over and get them onto the president s desk. Americans are fed up with the games and the tricks. They want serious solutions. You dont need a Campaign Pollster to figure that out, and republicans believe its about time the American People got those solutions. The presiding officer the leadership time is reserved.
