House Heeds No Labels Call: No Deal, No Break

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, the House announced plans to cancel their planned July 18 recess. Since June 1, No Labels has been calling for the House and Senate to scrap all recesses until they achieve a solution to our debt crisis. [Campaign Launch]

“In June and July, members of the House have taken 14 weekdays off work,” stated No Labels Founding Leader Lisa Borders. “Today, they finally listened to the American people. No Labels has demanded that Congress get to work and get a deal done for over a month, and today the House answered that call.”

“The House may have showed up to bat, but now they have to put the ball in play,” said No Labels Founding Leader David Walker. “If the Democrats and Republicans put everything on the table and leave everything on the field, they can score a win for the American people. If all they do is fight amongst each other and focus on their own electoral stats, the American people will strikeout and lose big with job losses and higher interest rates.”

“Partisans fight, patriots fix. It’s time for both parties to realize they are on the same team and get a deal done for their boss, the American people.”

No Labels is a national citizens' movement of Independents, Democrats, and Republicans that urges bipartisan cooperation in the interest of common sense solutions.
