It is time for the Republicans in Congress to stop playing politics and support the Economic Stimulus package proposed by President Obama and backed by many GOP governors in a public statement today.
Governors Charlie Crist of Florida, Arnold Schwarzenegger of California, and Jim Douglas of Vermont are among the Republican governors who have made clear that they want to see the success of President Obama, despite their party affiliations, as a necessary part of the economic recovery that is needed to benefit the whole nation. They are not taking the negative, obstructionist attitude of Rush Limbaugh, the House Republicans and many Senate Republicans. So the governors, who have to deal with reality on the ground in their states, are appealing for bi-partisan support, which we can hope will resonate with their congressional colleagues. The economic situation is desperate and getting worse by the day, so how about it for once, Republicans, do what is right for the masses instead of only what is good for the elite upper class!
