At a time when a storm is bearing down on us in the Gulf, I am calling on President Obama to put his partisanship to the side and withdraw his veto threat on the bill we passed to fund FEMA. I am also calling on Senator Reid to join the bipartisan coalition in the House and pass this bill quickly.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
