Description

On Monday, May 20th 2013, Congressman David G. Valadao (CA-21) delivered the following message on the Floor of the U.S. House of Representatives: "Mr. Speaker, I request unanimous consent to address the House for one minute. As I travel around my district I have witnessed firsthand many of the problems my constituents face on a daily basis - water shortages, difficulty pursuing a higher education, and high unemployment. And while there are many ways to address each of these issues - and we may not always agree on the best course of action - one thing is clear: American's are sick of the gridlock in Washington. Congress cannot continue to be sidetracked by political games and at the same time expect for real progress to be made. We must put aside our political differences and as leaders come together to do what's best for our constituents -- the American people. That's why I joined the Problem Solvers Coalition. The group is made up of both Republicans and Democrats alike who are committed to focusing on policy not politics. We meet on a regular basis to discuss, debate, and find common ground on the most pressing issues of our day. It is only through a mutual understanding and respect that we can begin to address the serious issues our nation faces and move forward together. I yield back."
