In the coming weeks, House Republicans will vote on the American Energy & Infrastructure Jobs Act, which will support job creation through removing barriers to economic growth. The president's policies have failed, and they're making our economy worse. House Republicans have solutions. We've sent 30 jobs bills to the U.S. Senate to get our country working again.

House Republicans discussed our plan for jobs with radio talk show hosts and bloggers from around the country in our House Republican Radio & Blog Row. Check out photos below:
Today marks 1,000 days since the Democrat-controlled Senate passed a budget. A lot can be done in 1,000 days. The Pentagon could be built- twice. The United States Constitution could be drafted, approved, and enacted- twice. But for Senate Democrats, it is still not enough time to pass a budget. It is inexcusable to our nation and the American people to go this long without a fiscal plan. Small businesses and families cannot go this long without a budget. It’s time for Senate Democrats to do their job.
House Republican Conference Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) delivers the Weekly Republican Address on the president's upcoming State of the Union. "The State of the Union is a time for truth-telling," he says. "And the sad truth is that the president's policies are making our economy worse."
Today, President Obama announced that he rejected the Keystone pipeline project permit. It would create thousands of jobs nationwide and grow our economy. It's disappointing that the president puts politics before job creation in America.
As the 112th Congress begins its second session, House Republicans will continue working hard to help boost our economy and give small businesses the opportunity to create jobs. We've passed more than 30 jobs bills, but they are still stuck in the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate. Contact your senator at jobs.gop.gov

In the Weekly Republican Address, Representative Nan Hayworth (R-NY) highlights House Republicans' Plan for America's Job Creators and the 27 bipartisan jobs bills still awaiting action in the Democrat-controlled Senate. Our national unemployment rate remains above 8 percent for 35 consecutive months--the longest stretch since the Great Depression. It's a new year, and Americans still can't wait for the Senate to take up these jobs bills.
Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN) delivers the Weekly Republican Address, honoring the men and women in our Armed Forces and wishing all a happy and safe holiday season.
The U.S. Senate remains on vacation, refusing to join House Republicans in negotiating a 1-year payroll tax relief extension. The Senate's 2-month extension threatens jobs and doesn't provide the certainty necessary to grow our economy. We're here, and we're still waiting to work with the Senate on a real solution.
House Republican conferees met with Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor this morning, ready and waiting for Harry Reid to appoint Senate Democrat conferees so we can discuss payroll tax extension plans. The Senate's 2-month extension simply won't work. House Republicans are at the table and waiting to discuss a REAL solution for the American people. The Senate should come back from vacation and to do their job.
