House of Representatives

President Obama describes how the House of Representatives left town without finishing important work that would create jobs and strengthen our economy.

They've fought for us. Walked miles in these boots. And Congressman Duffy's walked in these... a-hem... shoes. Facing a government shutdown ...Duffy voted against making sure our soldiers got paid. Against increasing combat pay. But Duffy made sure he got paid. "I've got one paycheck so I struggle to meet my bills" Congressman Duffy just doesn't get it.

General Bill Enyart led the Illinois National Guard's deployment to Afghanistan... and led emergency operations when disasters hit home.

Appointed by a Democratic Governor, and promoted by a Republican President ...Enyart's fought to protect his family, and yours.

And Rodney Davis? He was right in the middle of it... named on the infamous George Ryan clout list of political favors. He was even given a job in Governor Ryan's office. A career insider...he's taken nearly one million dollars in taxpayer-funded salaries. Rodney Davis? In Congress? Enough's enough.

We thought we knew Dan Benishek. But in Congress, Benishek voted to essentially end Medicare. And raise costs on seniors by over $6,000 a year. He even voted to give members of Congress taxpayer funded health care. For life. Gutting Medicare and looking out for himself. It didn't take long in Washington for Congressman Benishek to show his true colors.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) released a web video, "In Jeopardy," featuring reaction to Speaker John Boehner's stunning admission that the House Republican Majority is in jeopardy. Boehner said Republicans face "real challenge" in this November's election and could lose the House.

By the Numbers: How Democrats can take back the House in 2012!

Democrats currently hold 192 seats in the House.  We only need 25 more for a Majority!
