Date Chamber Action:
1/13/2009 House Resolution Adopted
Synopsis As Introduced:
Urges Congress to establish a small business recession
rescue task force.
We must
do more to safeguard the economic future of our nation.
Creating and keeping good jobs here in America will help
men and women provide for their families. Ensuring that
every American has decent health care and can retire
with dignity must be among our priorities. Every high
school student who wants to go to college should be able
to do so. Just as our parents did for us and their
parents did for them, we need to guarantee that our
children have better lives than we do.
