Last week, the President delivered his State of the Union address. I appreciate the President present- ing a detailed plan on how we can strengthen the middle class and get this economy back on track – two important priorities for this Congress - and I strongly urge the President and Congress to come to the table, actually listen to one another and work in a bipartisan way. It is time to govern and get the job done for the American people. During his address, the President outlined a plan that would help create jobs here at home by putting an end to the tax cuts given to the big corporations that ship their jobs overseas and start providing incentives to companies that bring jobs back home to America. As your Congressman, I have long fought for these commonsense solutions that sup- port American manufacturing and help create more jobs here at home and have already voted for and Your Heart is in Your Hands helped pass in the House several bipartisan “Make it in America” bills that are now law.
